#17591, "looking for silicone elbow"


          

im looking for a place that sells silicone 90 degree elbows. i called thermal flex and they want 45 bucks!!. that seems outrageous for a little piece of silicone tube. or is that the right price? thanks

turbonetics charges about 55 bucks, so yeah, that is a competative price.

I really dont understand this whole rubber elbo deal. I just redid the piping on joes car(shogunrs). Instead of rubber elbos, I welded 90 degree madrel bent tubes. The set up came out pretty neat and I believe Dinos is next and basically we are totally redoing all the pipes. But for the price of the elbo I would weld one in. Just one elbo welded on at a good shop should not be more than 40$. Just a suggestion. late mike

I left 1 elbow, made it a smaller elbow, and am using reinforced silicone from thermalflex... go through them, cause they make everything for turbonetics... hehe.. unless you want to add another middleman and pay a little more, hehe... but i left 1 elbow for leeway on engine flex... i doubt it will ever blow out again now that its done right, the rubber boots from HRC arent intended for much boost...
