Did u get the Vortech b/c u like it better or b/c it was the only option with the Trick on B/O??

They said a week? Thanks!!


Oh yea, i heard that the SLP CAI might have a fitting problem with these Elbows, anyone have experience with that? Ive been told that the elbows are a tad bit too long when use with the SLP CAI..

No it will not work with the stock TB and a air foil. But it does work fine with the aftermarket throttle bodies that have the built in foils

You will have to cut about an 1-1.5 inches of for it to fit the SLP orGMPP cai. Ask me how i know.

Thumbs down

Why do you guys want to use these things? Only good I can see is for a show car... That metal elbow is gonna get blistering hot sitting right on top of the thermostat housing and water pump, it may look nice but if anything will hurt performance. I'll stick to me 1LE

no, what i think they are saying is that the Vortech wont work with an airfoil, but by the looks of it the trick flow will work.
