The only restriction is the diameter change from the fittings on either side to the small plastic box. Unless the 90* bend itself is considered critical, I honestly don't see what it could be doing -- there's no internal butterfly valve, nor filter, or anything like that.

I'd just get the autozone 90* bend piece and call it a day. The Z1 set is nice for dress up and avoiding the possibility of inflexible plastic breaking, but otherwise, nothing special, at least as far as I can see.

If I have my old one lying around still, and can find it, I'll post a pic.
