3inch rubber elbow for custom intake ?

Just wondering if a 3 INCH rubber elbow will fit onto the 2.4l throttle body. i am pretty sure it will, JUST double checking.

thanks.

you could just go out there and measure across the throttle body. that would work unless you dont own one. how many mm. is it like....54, 56 or 52 mm . something like that.
i'll go ahead and do it. 60mm TB x .03937(is what 1mm is in referance to inches) =2.362somthing. i forget how wide the top of the tb is cause it flares out from the plate. but that gives you an idea. mabye find a rubber reducer (that sounds bout perverted) clamp the $hit out of it to the top of the TB. don''t know, i havn't gotten around to trying to make one yet cause it's cold and i just dont wanna go outside.

our tb's are 2 3/4" so youll need 1 that reduces

cool thanks.


i think i might just cut a little bit of my AEM elbow and put that over the t/b then the 3inch elbow over that and clamp it down. that should work. hah

when i did a boost leak test i had a 3inch coupler on the t/b and it worked.

I got a chance to check out my cav and the 3inch elbow wouldnt work. it was too big. so i am going to send it back, i have another idea i am going with.

But dealing with www.intakehoses.com was great, got the stuff with in a week. I recommend getting custom intake parts from him. Great prices.

Jake, my mushroom filter that was at Brians was 3"

Let us know how the new intake goes.
