Fernco won't reach.

Hightempsilicone.com is one solution...

intakehoses.com is another.

I bought a 12" by 4" from hightempsilicone and cut it to fit. Or was it 12" by 3.5", can't remember, it may be different with your TB setup. You should measure first anyway.
There may be some discrepancy with the fit on the TB and the lid, but you'll just have to get creative with that. I used some weatherstripping on the outside of the lid to seal the gap, as the lid end of the hose was way wider than the lid snout.

The results look very much like this

85mm comes out to be 3.3-3.4in... what size is a stock tb? 75mm? if so thats 3in...

http://hightempsilicone.com/category...e.black12hose/

shows all of the different hoses... but if i got a 3.5 would i be able to just clamp it down really tight over the stock tb? or do u think the 3.25 could be stretched over the lid?

Just get a 90mm intake/TB setup and it's easier I have a 4" rubber coupler that clamps onto my SLP lid which connects the lid to a 4" diameter aluminum tube that goes down to another 4" rubber coupler. This coupler connects the tube to the throttlebody. Now that's a free-flowing intake!

Im getting ready to do this this week. I have a slp lid and a stock ported TB well the strait 4" hose did not work to much of a bend. The best way to go is to get a 4" coupler, 4" hump hose, and a 4" piece of aluminum pipe. I got this all from intake hoses I ordered the 4" strait hose that did not work from hitempsilicone and will not do business with them again. First they took weeks to even ship my order then they did not include my clamps. I tried to call them on the phone many times also and no one every answers. Do yourself a favor and order from intakehoses.com . the 4" hose fits well on my slp intake also not much slack at all just have to clamp it down.
Heres the part list
H40B-400 Silicone Hump Hose 4" ID - Gloss Black 1 $19.61
C40B-400X3 Silicone Sleeve 4" ID X 3" Long - Gloss Black ** OVERSTOCK SPECIAL ** 1 $3.66
AL4X4 Aluminum Intake Tubing 4" OD X 4" Long 1 $4.64
