New non reinforced silicone elbows arrived but did not fit well either.
I can stretch them over the air filter exit and the throttle body intake side.
But I don't trust them to stay in place. The factory intake is semi rigid and doesn't stretch over these areas. It "fits" over them and then is clamped into place. Because the silicone is stretched into position it really wants to slide off. The clamp will keep it mounted but I expect vibration and bouncing will cause it to slide off and it's not worth the risk.

So I will stay with the factory intake for now...
