They are the same as dorman. I ordered them through my local o'reilly auto and installed them. They are awesome, and should resist warpage. Its worth while to get them.

The aluminum elbows from ZZP are the same as the ones made by Dorman. You can get them from O Reilly's Auto Parts for about $12. They're the same part # as the plastic ones but with I think HP on the end of it. They had to order mine but they came in the next day They work great. They're a lot tougher. You'd have to work hard to break them. I put them in a couple of weeks ago when I did LIM gaskets and a new upper intake and have had no leaks at all.
just so everyone got this clear, dorman makes them, everyone else is selling the dorman elbows, even zzp, rock auto O Reilly's and so on.
the way zzp lists them, they make it sound like they just came up with this new parts on their own, and then over charge for them.
My elbow snapped off on both ends. I took a 1/4" hex head bolt about 3" long an inserted the head inside the broken tube and snagged the inside edge and yanked with a vice grip. Both pulled out with zero effort, no need to pick.
I use a blind hole pilot bearing tool. Sounds like a similar result.
A paint can opener works well for getting the broken piece out.

That paint can opener idea is smart! That would work great. I used screwdrivers and prayer to get mine out (when I replaced my LIM gasket). Prayer works!!!
alot of places are out and its 3 months of back ordering i got mine on ebay 12 bucks less then a weekQuote:
