I've seen them on FD's and the Cosmo RE's before.I was wondering who makes them for the 13bt?Or do you have to modify the FD one to fit?The stock outlet is the stupidest design ever.Needs a straight shot to the TB.



Thanks

Luis

Those things are expensive. I'm going to get another stock TB elbow, a reducer, and a plain elbow to match up to the reducer. Some cutting and welding will save over $150. Plus it'll work just as well. Sounds good to me.

An NA TB elbow will bolt right onto a TII TB, and the inlet is pretty big.

The stock NA elbow will bolt onto a TII TB, and the inlet is about 3.5" It won't look as nice as a Greddy elbow, but it will do what it's intended to do.
