Default FTP 98mm Lid, SD Tune...What bellows?

I tried the fernco and it was not long enough. I was looking to order this one:
http://intakehoses.com/Merchant2/mer...egory_Code=SC4
but it has a 4" ID and the 98mm lid measures 4-1/8" OD. Will a silicone coupler like this stretch enough to fit the extra 1/8"? Anybody have any other suggestions?
Also if I need to trim the coupler length, what is the best way to do this?

yes It should be able to fit over it...I have one that i can check later tonight...

But i ran that 22* with a small 4" alumin tube that went to another 4" ID hose coupling...

But my 22* was trimmed from when i was running a maf so i am not sure if it will reach the full distance to the lid without the 4" al tube spacer...I do remember trimming off alot of material though when i first got the 22* intakehose.

I ordered a 4'' ID and a 4.25 ID from them and both seem to fit over my TB & Lid with no problems.

Yeah that one won't be long enough. I saw your thread with pics of the 22* one, wish it was longer. I'll prob just order the 4" coupler and hope it will fit.

My FTP98mm lid came with 4" ducting for SD. 4" fits over it with a little twisting. What TB?

I'm wondering how the lid is going to like the "twist" of the engine. This is why the accordion bellows come in handy.

Stock TB...
I'm concerned about the twisting as well. I'm not sure how much "give" a silicone hose will have but I can't find anything else that will fit.

You could try there 4-1/4'' or 4-1/2'' couplers. I have a set of those coming hopefully by the end of this week and would let you know how they work with the FTP 104mm lid.

yeah I figured it would be close...that straight 4" should work I think it is the same one I have seen on cars at the track...

Get the 4''x6'' couple from intake hoses. I used that for my Fast 102 TB and FTP 104mm lid.
