Summit seems to have a pretty good price for those two.

I believe is the only place you can get the trickflow one, its pretty cheap too.

The vortech one is expensive, but summit should stock both.

As stated you can get them from Summit. I have a pic of my Trickflow elbow with shark nozzle installed on my webpage.

i had the vortech elbow, its a PITA to install, you have to cut 1.5 inches off the end, if you dont relocate your IAT sensor, you have to tap a hole for it, if you do relocate it you have to get a bolt to plug the hole in the elbow, and it has a big thick divider in the middle, and it looks smaller than the rubber elbow.

i traded mine for a 1LE

1LE is the way to go. You can find them on ebay and there no mods to stall. Everything fits in the stock location.

I just got the trick flow ceramic coated elbow in the mail yesterday. They are pretty nice! The rubber pieces are black and if you have a vented opti, you need to drill a hole for it. They even supply you with grommits for the IAT sensor and the hose for the opti.

I think they started putting black ends on them now. When they first came out, they only did orange I believe, and I think they had a lot of people wanting black, so they mainly do black now. I wanted orange, and got black instead.

With Trick Flow do you have to cut anything? What does the 1LE look like any pics?

Another vote for Summit Racing. I have seen both and like the Trick Flow alot better.
