Need help finding LT1 WS6 part! I need to pick up the hose that goes from the LT1 intake to the MAF sensor that connects to the WS6 ram air airbox.... I called GM and they want something upwards of 100.00 and SLP said something like 60.00. These prices are insane for this small hose, I know I have seen them on ebay for like 10.00 but I can't find any right now. Someone please help me!

I need the rubber hose that goes from the throttle body 4 1/2 inches down to 3 inch opening which is the size of the maf... do you know which part I am talking about now... I would have no prblem getting a universal 3" flex hose but this part is special in that it is the correct length and goes down in size from like 4 1/2 to 3 inches...

I used a 4" to 3" rubber reducer from Home Depot. It took quite a bit of cutting and shaving to get it where I wanted it. Also, I have the stock connector and compared to the home depot one, the stocker is very restrictive.

The oval inlet of the LT1 throttle body equals a 4" circle, not 4.75. The MAF needs a 3.5".
Just get a 4" to 3.5" reducer and your set. ATP turbo sells a nice rubber one I believe is called a "Hump Transition" which allows a reasonable amount of movement without over-stressing the coupler.
