No doubt ur right Shooter. I've looked at every elbow available and all have about the same radius. I searched the local U-Pull yards for something else with no joy. I could probably make a box style connection from HVAC sheet metal.

FYI: the silicone elbow that my son picked up fits the throttle body perfectly and transitions to the 3.5 aluminum tubing that then fits the MAF perfectly. I doubt any air flow concern...the car runs and performs great.

I believe it is 4" on the throttle body to 3.5" for the ducting.

The site I tried to post didn't give a link so it might get overlooked and I just remembered another one.

The aluminum tubing a T bolt clamps are on their site also.

You're probably right Ed. I couldn't recall if it's 4" or 4.5" but the right size elbow like that will deform and fit the oval shaped throttle body just fine. And, an elbow like that will make the bend a lot shorter than using a straight coupler and an aluminum elbow.
