Doesn't the elbow connect right to the throttle body? Maybe I'm not understanding.

When I got a cold air intake I had to get a rubber coupler because 93's don't have a MAF, but that went after the elbow and before the CAI. But that doesn't seem to be what you're asking.

I'm guessing aftermarket metal/composite elbow.

Jegs carries couplers... not sure on what size is needed though, as I still have a stock elbow.

TB to elbow you can just get a 4" silicon/rubber coupler. At the other end of the elbow it is 3.5". If you are connecting it to a 3.5" intake you just need a straight 3.5" coupler. You will need 2x 4" clamps and 2x 3.5" clamps (unless you are attaching an intake larger/smaller than 3.5")

This place has a good amount of silicone connectors. Hope they have what your looking for. They also have a good exhaust pipe selection.

I went to ACE hardware and picked up a 4" rubber coupler, cut it down to the right size, and slapped it on there. It was like 7 bucks and came with both clamps.

I was out looking for a correct coupler as well for my trickflow elbow. 4" is way to huge for the elbow to tb coupler...i guess it might work if you want it to look jankey...

I know where to get some, but not sure what size. I'm assuming 3.5" since 4" is too big and 3" is too small... just want to be sure. i don't want a loose fitting fernco crap 4" coupler just because I can't find one locally..
