Default CAN DOWNSPOUT ELBOWS BE BENT ???

I just picked up a 10 foot length of 2 X 3 downspout, and a couple of "A" & "B"
90 degree elbows. I have to extend one of my downspouts away from the
house to eliminate water coming in under 1 of my garage doors. I need an angle
of about 120 degrees on one of the elbows. Can I sort of "stretch it out from 90
to 120 degrees" or will the elbow distort and kink ??? Many of the elbows on my
house are straighter than 90 degrees, but the only ones I saw in HD were 90's.


Thanks,


RON

Would this work? http://www.homedepot.com/SKU #663430 - "Flex Elbow"
(If not, sorry, I don't know anything about gutters, except that I got a
plastic downspout extension at Home Depot, and noticed these sitting
beside them).
