Is this worth buying? If so where's the best place to get one and which one?

 

some people say that they get heat soak and that takes power away, but I think thats B.S. and they are trying to justify not buying one for their car. I bought one, because the stock piece is vfugly, and it looks cheesy. I think its retarted to shell out $$$ for a 1le piece thats just as ugly as the stock piece.

Summit Racing, Jegs, and Year One all sell different versions from different manufacturers. Mine is a Vortech piece.

 

On ebay you can find a cheaper version that runs about 38$.

 

well i bought my car with the trick flow elbow and that thing got hot, so i traded someone for the ILE.

so i only paid shipping and i like the ILE much better.

 

From a visual standpoint, I think it looks pretty good under the hood. However, the price of the elbow is a little high.

 

I think the reason it gets hot is because of the TB, if you do the TB bypass it shouldnt get hot anymore. Since the tb is much cooler.

 

My buddy just got a Elbow off ebay (the one for $38 stated above) and it looks IDENTICAL in shape , structure, fitment, and quality as my other Friends Trickflow, we had them side by side I should have took some pics.

 

That is a really good point that probably gets over looked.

 

How did you search for it on Ebay?

 

Well here is a link for one, but the auction has ended and I can't find anymore with a buy it now...

But you can try and search, or just contact the seller.

Hope this helped,

I bought the ceramic coated version. Will help keep the temperatures down.

 

i have the ceramic coated one, and i have a throttle body bypass. it doesn't get hot.

 

Mine gets a slightly warm, but nothing scolding to the touch.

 

Word. If I pop the hood right after a long drive home the elbow is cool to the touch.

 

I have the ebay/mojo motorsports elbow. It's not as pretty as the polished elbows but it looks good enough for me. Oh and all the heatsoak bs is just that, bs. Mine never gets hot, just barely warm.
