Or with the sanding bit, just Dremel away at the inside diameter of the rubber fitting on the air filter until it will fit. That's what I had to do to my air filter in order to get it to fit directly onto the throttle body. I really only had to shave off a few thou on the surface though, Nothing major.

no, just keep looking for something that's the right size... sometimes you have to get creative. take a tape measure into the hardware store and start measureing things. Thats how I had to come up with the parts for my setup... You'll find something sooner or later.

8 bux for the aluminum flex tube
35 bux for the filter
5 or 6 bux for materials
2 or 3 hours to get it all together the way I wanted. Many trips to the hardware store to look for stuff that didnt work on the first try...
Its well worth the 50 dollars (canadian I might add) that I put into it.

oh, you know what else might work? Try and find some larger diameter exhaust flex tube... I was looking at that stuff AFTER I built my intake, it would have looked a whole lot nicer.

I took my heat blanket off a long time ago. It traps ALOT of dust and dirt in it. That's the number one reason really why I took it off.
