The 1LE is probably the best way to go with the 58mm...I've seen countless threads on here about the metal ones being a restriction and I've seen the photos...I don't think the 1LE is hurting my mph at all and its a good fitting factory piece...

No its the same size as stock, but if your replacing a metal one you might as well get the 1le over the stock one.

Did any of you guys ever see the one issue of GMHTP from a few years back when they made there own elbow and intake. If I remember correctly they used a 4" exhaust 90* and ovaled one end and used a silicone connector for the other. It was a near perfect fit to the throttle body. Just a thought

i though about that. that will more than likely be what i use. i was hoping for a purpose built one that was a little thicker for the sake of heat.
