Rubbing Elbows with the 6.0L! Mishmoto Powerstroke Intake Elbow R&D, Part 3: Final Product

Key takeaways

    • Performance air intake for the vehicle. Reduces intake restriction and improves airflow compared to stock system for increased power and throttle response.
    • Measurable power and torque gains. Optimized filter, ducting, and piping deliver mid-range power improvements with quicker spool-up for turbocharged applications.
    • Plug-and-play installation without tuning. Direct-fit design bolts onto stock mounting points; no cutting, fuel-system modifications, or check-engine light concerns.
    • Validated for real-world use and durability. Mishimoto flow-bench tests all intakes at its USA facility and validates performance with factory ECU calibration and warranty.

We have quite a bit going on with this project! Our discounted pre-sale has launched, and we are currently accepting orders. In addition, our final prototype elbows arrived and have been test fitted to ensure appropriate fitment. Without further delay, let's take a look at our finished intake elbows.

Installed Shots

We needed one more test fit to ensure that our final product slides into place perfectly. We selected the powder-coated blue elbow for this purpose. Check out a couple shots of this component in the engine bay of our shop truck!
