A 48mm or 52mm works with a 4" with a little room to spare. Would imagine that a 4" would work fine for 58mm as well.

The default sort option is for last 75 days.

If you look at the bottom left of the page, select a larger date range and you will get many pages.

And yes, as formularpm said, 4" for a twin bore tpi/lt1 throttle body.
