Too often universal intake elbows compromise on material or consistency. The FPE-UNV-INTAKE-5 stands apart by offering quality plastic construction, consistent internal wall thickness, and broad compatibility — giving you one less weak point in your high-performance system. Whether you’re doing a turbo swap, building a custom manifold, or fabricating a street/strip truck, this elbow gives you the foundation you need.
Installation Notes
- Ensure to clamp securely using high-quality 5″ couplers and constant-tension clamps as recommended for turbo/intake use.
- Check for clearance to nearby heat sources and allow for thermal expansion — plastic elbows expand more than metal at high temps.
- Inspect the elbow interior to ensure no manufacturing flash or internal imperfections before install — this is universal, so verify it works with your build.
- After installation, perform a pressure/leak test (if applicable) and check fitment under operating boost conditions.

FAQ
Is this FLEECE FPE-UNV-INTAKE-5 elbow a direct replacement for a factory intake elbow?
No. This is a universal-fit elbow designed for custom intake systems, aftermarket turbos, intercooler piping and fabrication work. It does not match specific factory OEM part mounts or shapes.
Can I use this elbow on both gas and diesel engines?
Yes. Because this is a universal intake elbow (5″ ID) and not engine-specific, it fits many applications. Ensure you confirm your tubing size, clearances, and routing requirements for your build.
Does this require special clamps or couplers?
We recommend using high-quality constant-tension 5″ couplers and clamps rated for turbo/boost use. Avoid low-grade generic clamps that may slip under boost or heat.
Does this Fleece elbow include a provision for a MAF sensor?
No — this version (FPE-UNV-INTAKE-5) does not include sensor mounting provisions. If you need a MAF port, consider the cross-link FPE-UNV-INTAKE-SENS-5.
What temperatures and boost levels can this elbow handle?
While Fleece manufactures this elbow from durable molded plastic suitable for performance use, actual service limits depend on installation, ambient heat, intercooler piping, and boost levels. Ensure proper routing, heat shielding and coupler selection to maximize reliability.
