Question Question about aftermarket elbows.

I need a new elbow and I was wondering how does each one flow. I was looking at the 1LE one as a solution to my elbow problem. I was wondering does it flow just as good as the Trick Flow and Vortech elbows? I like the 1LE cause it looks stock (sleeper look I guess) and it is lighter than the aluminum elbows.

I have the vortech. It looks really good but I don't think there was really any performance gains.

the only thing i could image that would make a difference is you want something that will disipate the engine heat so i'd imagine the rubber 1le elbow would be better. or you could just bolt a filter to the front of the TB and remove the hood. CUSTOM RAM AIR just a thought
