I haven't sent for it yet. I was hoping to see if anyone else had found these or other non-genuine replacements satisfactory. The turbine end of mine is mostly shredded silicone and hockey tape, and twice now I've had to push the car out of the fast lane in rush hour traffic to stuff it back on. Not as scary as Bob from Pittsburgh, but nonetheless a very uncomfortable sight watching those SUVs screaming up behind my stalled 242.

Also, I did come up with a 7-1/2" measurement on the long end, but it was end to outside rather than end to center, so I figured the Vertex elbow might be only 1/2" short. But the mismatched ID at the turbo is not happy news, though I can picture using a short piece of 2" tubing as an inner sleeve over the turbo. The same outfit has lots of clamps and hoses.

Thanks for taking the trouble to mic out your spare.
