The plastic one is crappy looking once you start polishing everything else anyway. But like stated above...once you get rid of the IC and upgrade, its hard to find one that will fit with the elbow.

technically at super duper high boost the plastic might crack. 
if everything else was metal and you had good couplers.

yeah the stock plastic elbow would never crack in a million years
I dont think you could even break it if you wanted to
The plastic crossover tube could seperate though under high boost...
The greddy elbow is a very poorly cast peice. The inside is very rough and the metal they use doesn't polish to a high shine. There's even a few spots on the outside of it that are left unpolished.

But really the elbow is just a rough piece. It can use some TLC once you get it. And as far as the parts not polished, i think he was referring to the name embossed on the elbow. They don't get inbetween the letters or around it very well either. But if you spend the time or $$ it can be done.

Just to throw it out there, wouldn't the greddy elbow flow a tiny bit better since it's a 90 deg angle vs the stock elbow's 90+ deg? I've seen some elbows in RE Enthusiast mags that have custom elbows with even less than that (pointed towards shock tower).
Also, the stock elbow goes from small to large (towards the tb). Wouldn't that slow down velocity, even more so after the air is cooled off & loses some already?
