I checked Home Depot for something like that recently but couldn't find anything that would fit. I don't remember which was which but either the throttle body or the mass air was 3&1/2 inches and the other was 4 inches and I couldn't find anything with those dimensions. I'll check Lowes.

What did you get exactly? Did it look like this one of these?

i bought an SLP when i first got my car, just because i didnt know any better.

$50 is a lot for a piece of rubber. and even though its supposedly exact dimensions for the car, i still had to trim it so that it would push on all the way.

if i had to do it over, i'd just buy that rubber coupling from HD/lowes
