Not an elbow, but a silicone reducer. On the connection on a 900 T from a 3" pipe from the (Jak Stoll modified) IC to the throttle, with the very short clamping area on the throttle housing.
The stock connector has a molded ridge, but the pipe's bigger so I needed a reducer. There wasn't enough area for the clamp to hold without the ridge.
I "cast" a new ridge with Permatex Silicone on the new silicone reducer and put a string in the wet slicone to give it some reinforcement. I haven't had it blow off since. It could be the seal, could be the ridge, or both.
