Ah yes! I totally forgot about this site! I have a BeCool radiator, so my radiator sits closer to my MAF. I don't want to cut the silicone piece I buy...how exact was your fitment, Yahelou? Did you install it with a stock radiator?

I took a 4" aluminum pipe cutdown to size and stuck between two silicone couplers to go from my FTP 4" lid and my Nick Williams 4" TB. If I could, I would have found a long enough coupler to go straight from the lid to TB.....but I couldn't find one.

edit: blah! just found a 4x6" coupler on the site posted above...that would probably work for me!

heres a pic of my fitment:


u can see the wrinkles in the bellow. if i got a 22 or 45 degree bend then i would have been good. i got it a little longer then i needed just in case. its better to get it longer than shorter, cuz u can always cut it to size. if its too short, then ur screwed. the bellow fits great over the tb and lid separately, but when i come to line them up, thats where i get a hard time, cuz that bend is missing. oh, and i do have stock radiator.

Same here. I got an Air Charge Cooler hose thinking it was going to be somewhat flexible, but it was really no more than the regular silicone hose I had before.

As it is now. Don't mind the mess, doing some fuel work.
