Default Rubber intake boot thing

I remember seeing something on LS1.com a few months ago, although I can't find it now. It's a mod to eliminate the stock baffle but keep the stock lid, using a rubber plumbing thing available at HomeDepot. It's a 3" to 4" adapter I believe? Due to my recent unemployment I don't have $150 to dedicate to an airlid but if I can at least bypass the baffle for $10 or so that's worh it. Anybody remember this, or have the part number?

Combine fernco mod with foam sealed side silencers
just get can of sealing foam (expandable) fill
sides.Let set up smooth and coat lightly with
epoxy.While epoxy is setting,bust off underlid
ribs(top of stock air-cleaner) smooth with
sandpaper stock look.10.00 investment and it
cant hurt perfomance.Will need to add smog pump
filter,but have to with almost all lids
anyway. <img src="images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0">
