I'm having to upsize my MAF and need to find the right size silicone bend/reducer that runs between the TB and the MAF. Finding a bigger coupler between charge pipe and MAF is no problem, but I searched for a while today at all of the "usual websites" and could not find a 90 degree bend/reducer large enough. They were all too small ID/OD and too short in length.

I need one essentially identical to the one that EPP istalled on the car during the original build, just larger ID on the MAF end. I don't know who their (or Procharger's) supplier was. What I am seeking has to exist, I just don't know who EPP and Procharger were getting them from.

Just to be clear, here's the silicone bend/reducer in question:

The long arm of the "L" of the 90* is approx 9.5".

Current opening for the TB is approx 4.25" and current MAF opening is approx 3.75"

I need to find one with a MAF opening of ~4.00" or ~100mm.

I'm going from an "85mm" (true ID about 78mm) to a custom machined housing with true 90mm ID and using a new card style MAF.



Just need to upsize the 90* silicone bend/reducer to fit the new MAF housing.

Thanks in advance!

So you are looking for a reducing 90*? I'm guessing you have looked on RPS?

Yes, just like in the first picture. Need one that is 4.25" diameter on the TB end and 4.00" on the MAF end.

Not familiar with RPS. Can you PM me a link? Spent about 45 minutes looking around 7-8 websites and all of the stuff I found must have been for ricers. It was all too small, or if the diameter was large enough the length was too short.

The TB should use a 4" also

Thanks man but I think you missed the part where I said I'd already spent 45 minutes searching. I have bought couplers from them before and that was the very first website I checked. They don't have the size/length I need.

Thanks! Unfortunately I just checked them out and their 90* bends only have 3" legs on them. That would be fine on the TB leg, but way too short on the MAF leg.

Bob Beam (Brute Speed) also shot me a lead, but I'd have to call that shop on Monday. That shop should be able to hook me up because it's where Bob got my original piece.

you just need a silicone "joiner" they sell them at silicone intakes. Then you add a straight section.

You arent going to find exatly what you are looking for. Thats a custom piece that no generic company is going to produce, unless its direct from the supercharger manufacturer who designed it

Oh, I think I will. See the post below yours.

Yep. Thanks Bob. I'm going to call Sig and just tell him I need the same part he supplied to you, except 4" ID on both ends.

The longest elbows that could could find anywhere else besides Stylin Motors had only 3" legs on them. Way too short and like I posted above, I don't want to add extra parts/pieces/clamps/bullcrap into the intake tract. Want a clean, leak-free install.

I found the solution and wanted to post this for anyone else looking for something similar.

Flex Technologies out in CA makes the 90* silicone hose that I am looking for. The can make them with 10" legs so you can cut to size, or they will cut to your specs if you tell them what you want.

If anyone needs more info, just PM me. Don't want to run afoul of guidelines against posting non-sponsor contact info.

Thanks to Bob at Brute Speed. He got me heading in the right direction.
