Default Homemade air intake 4.8 GMC

I need some help with making a air intake for my 2002 GMC Sierra 4.8. I need to know what to use for the elbow off of the TB? Theres only 5 inches of clearance between the TB and rad shroud. Thanks!

Also looking for any good performance tips.

Very tight fit, I know alot of running a 4" mandrel elbow with a coupler to the TB with E-Fans. With the stock fan, I have a 4" elbow here and it will not fit as it hits the fan shroud. You cannot get a 4" elbow to fit in a 5" gap because of the radius. Bust bet is to look for a real tight radius eblow, and might have to trim the radiator shroud.
