Question GP intake elbow

Are these still available from the US, or better still is there a uk supplier..?

Fancy doing snorklectomy, but I'd want to have a direct cold air feed from oem ram scoop.

I know you can 'adapt' (cut and slice) the silencer, but I'd rather keep it intact in case I change my mind..

I have sent you the pics by email incase you don't have them, ripon racer kindly sent them to me. I had a nightmare trying to organise one and gave up in the end. You will probably find it easier to pick up a used one on here and adapt that if you dont want to cut your own up. By the time you ship it from the states and possibly pay import/handling fees it will cost you about £60-£70. Try the stealer also it may not be that dear to buy from them. Not sure if the classic snorkel is the same or similar.

Had a look this evening through o/s fog cover (WRX with fogs removed) and bottom bolt is easily accessible. However, I noticed that the silencer is in a location that receives plenty of cold air from fog cover (even WRX fog surround has an air inlet) and therefore presumably cooling intake..!

Interesting..

I'm going to do snorkelectomy provided I can get/fabricate an elbow as, IMO, it has to allow turbo to pull the air in easier..? Think of it like trying to suck air through a kinked straw as opposed to a straight one..

If it lowers spool, even 100 rpm, it'll be worth it.
