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 polished exterior gives a clean, professional appearance under the hood. Universal fit makes the Spectre 97490 compatible with any 4-inch intake system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures and Benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMandrel-bent polished aluminum construction for smooth internal airflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-inch OD fits standard intake tubing and couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45-degree bend angle for routing around engine components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-inch leg length provides generous straight section for coupler clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight aluminum reduces overall intake system mass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished finish resists corrosion and enhances underhood appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal design for custom cold air and performance intake builds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e97490\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpectre Performance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTube OD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 in.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBend Angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 Degree\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeg Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 in.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUniversal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimited lifetime\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Spectre 97490 Aluminum 45-Degree Tube Elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the tube OD of the Spectre 97490?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 97490 has a 4-inch OD and is designed to pair with 4-inch ID couplers and matching diameter intake tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 97490 mandrel bent?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
