Accufab Power Elbow

I was considering installing an Accufab Power Elbow to my 05 6.0L. The only mods I currently have are a Banks six-gun and Ram air intake. Do you think I will notice any gains with my current setup? Or could the money be better spent somewhere else?

Do a search on Accufab or power elbow in this forum and you'll get several hits as this subject has been discussed on numerous occasions. Some favorable, some not favorable.

If you can pick one up for $60 then I say go for it! that's a great deal.

You are not going to see big gains from it but if you compare it to the stock elbow you can see how it is a much better flowing piece and it looks great, so it definitely won't hurt to add it.

If you are just trying to add performance then your money would be better spent on an exhaust system or saving up for an SCT tuner!

Mine is an intakeelbows.com version, but still apples-to-apples compared to the Accufab. I notice smother throttle response and MAYBE +.5 mpg...
A good thing about it is the bling-factor under the hood. They look really good!

Find one cheap and give it a try. I found an ACCUFAB to be a good improvement running a QUAD module and most recently an SCT II. Since mine is cast it looks OEM but has the boost port.
