$8 Smooth bellow (pics)

So after I installed my Procharger kit the stock coupling from the MAF to TB was all bound up. Had my car street tuned and the turbulence caused by my coupler was causing havoc with my A/F ratio. Went to Lowe's today and found this coupler for $8. I thought if it works great if not ehh $8 bucks lost. Got it home made some miner modifications and it works great. It's F-ing snowing today so I cant road test it. Anyway glad I saved $50, thought I would share.

Doesn't look too bad. If it fixes the issue its a great deal.

Hard to tell with that pic (pic #2) but it looks smashed/pinched? Too long?

Peace,

Nope...the MAF side is smaller than my 90mm throttle body. It's larger on the TB side and then reduces to the smaller size for the MAF.

What did you do to make it fit? Or does it just fit directly?

I don't have the part #. I found it in the plumbing section, it's a 4" coupler that reduces to 3". The 4" side went to my TB and the 3" went to the MAF. On the MAF side the inside dia of the coupler was to small so I simply enlarged it. That was the only mod I had to make.
