Power Ell

Is anybody using a longer radius intake ell from either CFM+, Accufab or Banks ? Any improvement over stock? The Banks looks the worst due to the mounting holes blocking airflow. The CFM product is what I'm considering, but would like to know the difference between their Smallmouth (elbow only) and Largemouth (new bigger ell and intake pipe). Are these worth the $$.

Thanks,

Tom

I'm not sure about the specific products you're citing, but I had something to say about my power-elbow once it was installed.

I put on an intake elbow at the same time as I did my muffler delete. Between the two I picked up more than 1 MPG.
