Roose Motorsport ISF elbow

[ubersonic]

Thought id do a little post about this as I haven't seen much mention of it.  I found recently that Roose Motorsport (English manufacturer of silicon hoses for motorsport) make (to order) silicone intake elbows for the ISF and so ordered one, as I had wanted a new elbow for a while for the noise/coolness/etc and at £130 to the door it was much cheaper than a US import.

They come in 10+ colours with the option of the company logo but I went with unbranded and black because I'm boring, I also ordered the optional stainless hose clips (You can use the factory ones if you prefer).

Results:

Looks: It looks cooler than stock, admittedly it's no burnt titanium pipe but then it is 1/4 the price of one 😛

Sounds: It sounds cooler than the muffled/resonated stock elbow, this is what I wanted.

Performance: The car feels to be pulling stronger but I'm fairly sure that's just a placebo from the cooler sound haha (I have a TOMs panel filter so that plus an upgraded intake elbow should add a couple of HP, but on a 400+ HP car it won't be enough to actually feel).

Fitment/Installation: Everything fits well, I have one arm and it's on the car without personal injury so I guess that's top marks.

That’ looks like a right bargain!  Shame it’s not for RCF.  
 

Even do it in orange….

I have one of these also in blue, I worked with Roose quite a while ago to get these into production, good to see they are getting used!

Really liking this mate and fair play to you fitting it with one arm.
