I have a barrel PWR air/water intercooler that just hangs in the air and the weight is supported by two metal 90 degree elbows. Thinking about going with a larger barrel but now the metal ones will be too long. Swapping in silicone ones would be the easiest, cheapest solution if I go this route, but the elbow would have to be able to support a pound or two one each end. Nothing too heavy but if they are real think and don't easily flex they should be fine. Thought I had seen some smewhere that also had some metal wire in them for greater support but don't remember.

The ones I used had what looked like some sort of fiber in them, but they were not elbows, just adapters and they supported air/water cooler on the CTSC...no issues.

I use them for miscellaneous things also. Their vacuum line is great quality stuff. Fast shipping and they actually answer emails and phone calls.

x4 on SiliconeIntakes. I have their heat exchanger for my aftercooler along with several silicone elbows, couplers, and miscellaneous fittings. I also bought my Bosch water pump from them.
