you try the local Home Depot or Lowe's in the plumbing section you could look for 3" rubber pipe connectors. It's a place to start. Or you could re-use the two connectors that are on your stock intake they work well for 3" pipe the one that connects to the Throttle body reduces 3" to 2.5 for the TB opening i think. I'll e-mail you a pic of my old short air intake using the stock connectors and a K&N filter. If you want to PM me with your E-mail i can send the pics to you. I don't yet know how to post pics on the board.
haha your intake is crazy i havent seen that shit before, looks tight though.... my stock connectors are fucked up bad... when i was takin them off to make my short ram i cracked the one to the TB bad but im still usin it now so i guess I will just go to home depot and look for some more. to make the CAI for our 2.0l like they did on the del sol I should use 2.5'' piping with the 2.5'' connectors right? 3'' seems a little big.
Yes you can use the 2.5" but the connectors might be a little harder to find at Home Depot, but i think they will still have them.
this is the newest attempt at a CAI, I frankenstiened it from a Wepon R Ram air kit. http://www.ofoto.com/PhotoView.jsp?U...id=29104291205
I priced the 2 1/2" mandrel bend at a muffler shop and it was $29 plus tax for the aluminized pipe. Be sure to get the aluminized so it won't rust. Just follow the instructions on the "How To" section. The connectors are fernco couples size 2" found in the plumbing section at Home Depot or Lowes. They go on the intake pretty easy. I had to trim my battery tray so the pipe would go through fire wall. You won't have to drop the bumper. Just pull the wheel off and drop front part of the fender well. I installed one on my 3gee using those instruction and it turned out great. Love the added hp!
