Intake elbow
Ok, whats the scoop on intake elbows? Do they really do anything on a stock or even a SCT tuned truck? I have seen a cutaway of the 6.0 intake manifold and it looks pretty restrictive, so I am not sure a nicer looking elbow will do anything.
Whats your guys experiance?

AM intake elbows can be useful if you need the bosses for a boost gauge, or water/meth injection nozzles. Other than that, I've never heard any credible testimonials that they offer a performance advantage. My $.02

FWIW, I think I added about .5 mpg in town, and it "feels" like it accelerates better. YMMV.
