Default Silicone Reducer Question

I recently installed a 92mm FAST intake manifold and throttle body. I also have a 85mm MAF. I don't like the looks of the SLP smooth bellow and have looked every where I know trying to find a reducer to connect my TB and MAF. I located two different websites with a 30 degree redcuer only to find out they are out of stock and won't be getting any more.

I don't want to do the Home Depot option so I was wanting to see if anyone knows where I could find a reducer (4.0" to 3.5") or had any other suggestions. I can find reducers with no angle, but I am concerned the TB and MAF won't be flush with the reducer without the angle.

Thank you in advance.

I placed an order with siliconeintakes last week and they informed me they are out of stock and will no longer carry the item. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the link. I've been searching for hours trying to find a 30 degree reducer and the only one I found is out of stock. Do you think a 45 degree reducer would be too much of an angle?

This is exactly what I am looking for, but they are out of stock and won't be getting any more.

Just a tip if you wanna just buy a 4" connector, go to home depot and grab the 3.5" rubber hose for PVC, cut it to slide over the maf then slide your 4" connector over that and clamp it down. youll never know its there and itll seal up just fine. Opens up your options a bit more.
