Only needed for 500+. The elbow is a restriction before the spacing of the plenum.

The elbow is the restriction but some tuners will still say otherwise though

If you are going for big Power it works. It was tested in Australia & made an extra 10bhp on a 400bhp engine. It allows a RS500 Plenum to approach 700bhp on race Fuel. However the DIY King knows best so ignore these facts & dont fit it.
