SD TPI Intake Duct/Tubing

Kind of a basic question here, but I just went ahead and traded in my archaic 870 ECM in favor of an EBL flash system.

My MAF is now just sitting there for its good looks and I was curious what you SD guys use to go from the TPI snorkel to the TB. I seem to remember alot of folks using a single piece of PVC (4"?) pipe IIRC.

Anyone got some ideas I could follow suit on?

I used 4" diameter aluminum tubing with a .062" wall. That will supply your motor with all the air it will need and then some.

What sort of boots are used to attach the tubing to the TB and snorkel? The snorkel I am imagining just a generic rubber boot from the auto parts store can be used, but what about the TB? Is there a more effective/more attractive option than the accordion boot?

I'm looking for something to take place of the MAF sensor to go from the snorkel to the TB.

Re: SD TPI Intake Duct/Tubing

I had a brain fade. I have a Trans Am and it is easier to do on my car versus the Camaro. However I have seen some Camaro's follow along with the Trans Am style air intake. The 90 and up Camaros do not use a MAF. You need to find one of those boots.
