ive been having lots of problems with hoses n crap on my wagon! lol got most of it fixed, but recently ive been having a spudder/ boost cut.. so i find a few broken things. fix it and a few days later its back.. this elbow has been to hell and back.. i tried jb weld, which broke off, silicone which didn't work well and now im going to try polyurethne(sp) until i can make a metal new intake.. idk how to upload pics on here, but i will figure it out when i can

Welcome to the BBS.
You're really better off trying to find a new one or a better shaped used one at a junkyard or from someone on the board. There is a silocone one that Samco makes that is nice, but not too cheap.
As for pictures, you need to have them hosted on a server, something like image shack, photobucket, etc.

I work at a Spalding auto parts in spokane,wa. We have one sitting out in the yard right now. I don't think it would be too much.

Do you have a turbo or non-turbo motor?
It looks like it would physically fit the non-turbo setup with the addition of a MAF adapter plate, but I'd recommend keeping your stock airbox and removing the snorkel in the fender.

"Secrete Weapon Air" sounds like military grade lingerie for your car.
diesel devil, what kind of handle to you have on these elbows? Factory made?
