intake tubing

ok i have a k&n intake and i also have the zzp throttlebody spacer with the lsj throttle body.
now i noticed after i put the zzp spacer on the angle of the k&n flex pipe is smaller because of the added hight of the tb and it is under more stress.(its rubber so it streches).
since the pipe is bent more less air is getting to the throttle. so is it more benificial to keep the larger tb but have the pipe bent more or just to have the intake alone?

cant really tell what your trying to say, the 90 degree bend into the throttle body on the intake it bent? pics would help. but absolutely no, if it is bent it is disrupting and limiting airflow. the injen has a metal piece for the 90 degree bend, you may want to look into that

you have a spacer on top of the adapter plate or is the spacer your adapter plate?

make sure you 90* coupler is 3 in.

the k&n bend coupler is rubber unlike the metal injen one so it can flex
