Is one better that the other? If so, why? I'm planning on replacing my stock intake elbow and want the best replacement.
Thanks.

 

I'm going with the Trickflow. No partition running down the center of the elbow like the Vortech which interferes with airfoils if you have one.

 

If you ever plan on runnning n2o get the trick flow. Its a p.i.a. to put a nozzle in the vortech

 

I have the trick flow and I like it, but it will not work with a Jet Hot airfoil.

 

I like my trick flow because it is ceramic coated and in my opinion looks nicer

Where can you buy a Trick Flow elbow?

 

I have the Trick Flow piece on my Z with a heat barrier coating inside and out and I like it. Stays nice and cool too.

 

I ordered mine from summit. 79.00 ish for the ceramic coated one.

 

i was looking at the powercoated black trick flow for mine. i just like the all black intake look with my moroso cold air.

summit has that one for about 10 bucks less than the ceramic one i believe.

 

i just put a trick flow intake elbow, and the stock intake doesn't fit too well now. well this be worse with my soon to be installed K&N CAI? what can i do to fix it? trim the coupler? thanks!

 

I have the Trickflow elbow with a K&N CAI and the fitment was fine.

 

I have trick flo not on yet.I have vented opti and don't feel like drilling into it.Can I drill in farther upstream like in my air induction tube.
Also does the delteq system need a vented opti? Is it to protect the optical part or just the cap and rotor and couldn't I pull vacuum from another spot in the vacuum harness?

 

Yeah I didn't like that there was no port for the opti vent...debating on getting the 1LE elbow...

EDIT: I have the trick flow...

 

i like the trick flow. it is very easy to drill the hole.

i got the trickflow and i didn't have to drill for my opti vent, my opti vent was relocated before i got the car to a separate place on the intake. possibly had simmilar mods before i bought it.. and the only fitment i had trouble with is if i want to take out my air box, it's just a little tight, so i pull the elbow from the TB and everything moves just fine.
