I'm sure you can find the 5" elbow, it's the same one I'm running. Truth be told, using the 4, 4.5, or 5" probably won't make any significant difference. If you really wanted to be a badass you could use the 6" intake.

I've done tests with the 4" filter vs no filter and have seen no measurable difference in power output. You'll be fine using a reducer unless you want it to look different.

well i dont want to buy another filter, so i need something 5>5. I have a 5>5 straight coupler but even with a 5" 90deg pipe its radius is to long and hits the rad, so ill have to pie cut it to make it fit

I could get that gaudy looking coupler but im ocd when it comes to making things look nice and to me that looks like *** lol

Hah yeah I get that. I like my 5>4 currently. I had to step up to a 5.5>4 for this new turbo and its a retarded looking elbow that's probably going to rub the efans.

I had to cut the hell out of mine to make it fit, but my turbo sits way forward compared to most.
