Default What intake duct could possibly work here?

I've swapped an LS3 into my '94 TransAm and need to bridge this gap between the intake and the MAF. Does anyone know of any product that will work? When the LT1 was still in it, I used a Fernco 3" x 3" "flexible PVC" coupling from Home Depot for $8. Now it's too long to fit and the intake and MAF don't line up as you can see in the pictures. I'm sure I'll need a flex hose/ duct of some sort but my searches have come up empty so far. I think I may also have to trim the rubber piece between the air box and MAF to angle it down a bit.

Amazon Amazon

part of the problem is your MAF is 3.5" and your throttle body is 4" so you really need a flexible coupler that's also a reducer

Good stuff, I'll browse through silicone intakes. The one in the Amazon link looks like it would work really well too.

The hump hose looks like it would be too long unless it can be cut.

you could also upgrade to the truck maf which i THINK is 4" outer diameter. But, would need someone to confirm that for 100%
