Default FTP 98mm lid + gm 85mm maf + 92mm tb

What coupler will connect the maf to the tb??? It is on an ls3 intake, and It appears I need a 4 inch and 3 and 5/8th's ID and at least 5 inches in length. What is being used? I'd rather not pay $100 for a coupler to use with a $170 lid.

Will this setup work with an LS6 intake? I assume the LS6 opening would have to be ported, right?

I would go and track down a piece of neoprene tubing from some place that sells turbo accessories (a speed shop or truck shop). Probably cost you $10 or less. I would take the maf with you to make sure it fits. I have only seen blue tubes around here, but you can spray paint them.

Measure the od of the maf and tb and look up silicon hoses on google. 20 bucks or so. Who would pay 100 for a coupler?
