Great, thanks JMart!

What kinda gains did you guys see with this?

JMart said:
You gain 2 threaded ports and a nicer look under the hood.

Thanks for answering these questions JMart! We did not perform any testing in terms of power output as we do not expect any bolt-on gains. Our elbow should indeed outflow the stock unit, which may produce gains on high powered trucks. The primary benefit is the additional ports for sensors, nitrous, meth, water, etc. and the improved aesthetics.

Thanks!

One final update on this project!

Rubbing Elbows with the 6.0L! Mishmoto Powerstroke Intake Elbow R&D, Part 3: Final Product

We have quite a bit going on with this project! Our discounted pre-sale has launched, and we are currently accepting orders. In addition, our final prototype elbows arrived and have been test fitted to ensure appropriate fitment. Without further delay, let’s take a look at our finished intake elbows.

Final Product Images

First, a lineup of the stock elbow next to our three finish options.

And check out a few images of each finish option!

Here’s a look at the mounting flange.

Notice the various inclusions in our kit. We aren’t simply throwing the elbow in a box and shipping it out. Our kit includes all the items below.

New mounting hardware
O-ring seal
Intake elbow boot
Two constant-tension T-bolt clamps

Installed Shots

We needed one more test fit to ensure that our final product slides into place perfectly. We selected the powder-coated blue elbow for this purpose. Check out a couple shots of this component in the engine bay of our shop truck!

Quick update for those who purchased through our pre-sale! We are experiencing minor delays with this kit. Our initial estimate had these shipping around 10/7. Our new estimated ship date will be 10/16, which is the end of next week. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Unfortunately not, we ran into one additional delay with these. The good news is they are finally at our warehouse for packaging. We will be working on putting the kits together today. Optimistically the kits will ship out tomorrow, realistically it will likely be Monday.

Sorry for the delay guys!
