why won't it work with your MAF? Is it a different size or what? There's quite a few people running them with a maf. If it's a size difference get a rubber coupler from lowes or home depot that will adapt the 2 sizes.

95 corvette LT1 intake bellow works. Or i've seen a SLP intake bellow selling on ebay. I would try cheaper alternatives first like home depot.

Mine works. I used a 3 x 3 sewer coupler cut in half. The first time sliding it over the throttle body is rough, but it will stretch. I have ran mine for over a year. The vette bellows was too long.

Just in case I ever get ram air, where did you get the 3x3 sewer coupler from?

I bought it at Lowes in the plumbing section. It came with two clamps.

I'm really thinking about buying parts from this site when I build my next custom cold air intake:
