OD Aluminum Tube Elbow - 45 Degree / 7in. Leg The Spectre 97490 is a polished aluminum 45-degree tube elbow with a 4-inch OD and a 7-inch leg length, designed for use in custom cold air intake fabrication, intercooler piping, and performance air routing projects. Built from mandrel-bent aluminum for a smooth internal bore with no flow-restricting kinks, the 97490 provides a precise 45-degree bend to route intake air around engine bay obstacles without sacrificing airflow velocity.
Key Features
- Bend Angle 45 Degree Leg Length 7 in.
- Built from mandrel-bent aluminum for a smooth internal bore with no flow-restricting kinks, the 97490 provides a precise 45-degree bend to route intake air around engine bay obstacles without sacrificing airflow velocity.
- The 97490 has a 4-inch OD and is designed to pair with 4-inch ID couplers and matching diameter intake tubes.
- Mandrel bending maintains a consistent internal diameter through the bend, eliminating the flow restriction and turbulence that occurs with crush-bent tubing.
- Both are 4-inch 45-degree aluminum elbows, but the 97490 has a 7-inch leg versus a shorter leg on the 9749, giving more room for coupler placement and routing flexibility.
- The polished aluminum construction and smooth mandrel bend make it suitable for both intake and intercooler charge-pipe fabrication.
