Intake elbow STR

Here is a thread of someone who experimented with a few different intake setups and tested the temps. He found that just replacing the elbow and leaving the stock box yielded the best results. I would like to look into getting a different elbow if not for performance at least get some more intake noise by removing all the dang silencers.

Anyone find a replacement for the mid section intake tubing thats already made to fit the STR? Exactly like the pic I attached minus the Cone filter, I want to stick it with the OEM air box.

I see a HUGE problem with changing out the OE elbow although it's really nice to get rid of silencer baffles. A metal elbow does introduce heat soak. Since it's essentially over the blower. Without some sort of coating all you would do is make the intake louder but no true gains I can forsee losses actually. That's the same problem the Mina gallery intake suffers from. I'm looking into some sort. HPC coating that might help out. We are pretty much on our own for performance stuff so we need to do it right
HPC- high performance ceramic

Yea my local speed shop and I have been fabbing a couple prototypes including one to draw air from the lower front air dam. Or possibly putting the filter in the bumper and HPC coating the whole thing in the inside to keep the temps ambient or as close as possible. Right now with the plastic tube I've been reading about 5 degrees above ambient driving for 20 min. Letting car idle for about ten min. I see about 140 degrees when ambient is about 90 degrees go out for a 20 min drive and I still see 100+ degree temps with 90 degree OAT. That's why I'm so concerned with the heat soak issue. I have some data logs of you want to take a peek.

Thats what I'm looking at doing. QUESTION where did you get your oval to circle adapter at and what size pipe did you use???

yup, i used a vice to get one end into an oval shape. i bought a 3" aluminum turbo intercooler kit off ebay with all sorts of different length and bends plus many silicon couplers.

So is that an oval coupler or a circle that you just stretched to an oval? If its a 3" circle was it an exact fit to the oval of the intake?
