Wheres a good place to find an aftermarket "smooth" elbow? Im using the stock one with my CAI as well.

Oreillys has a stock of intake tubes. Straights, elbows, the rubber connectors. I believe advance and autozone as well.

Craby, that Trickflow might just be the ticket. I knew the parts store had tons of "build it yourself" intake parts, but I was concerned about it fitting properly obto the throttle body without looking to hacked, and having connections for IAT and whatnot. My 94 doesnt have a vented opti so no need for extra holes. Thanks for the info!

You can also get the 1LE rubber elbow, I think those are a little cheaper and are better than the stockers on the non 1LE's.
