LTX and LSXPutting LT1s, LS1s, and their variants into Third Gens is becoming more popular. This board is for those who are doing and have done the swaps so they can discuss all of their technical aspects including repairs, swap info, and performance upgrades.
What kind of coupler are you guys using to connect the LS1 throttle body to the mass air and then to the TPI air box? My motor is relatively level so it has somewhat of a sharp angle to the air box... Would like to keep it factory looking if possible, instead of building an actual cold air intake.
I used a 1995 Corvette throttle body bellows that has the IAT in it along with a short pc of custom made tubing to make up the length..the MAF could fit here.
The TPI airbox has the oulet cut back at a slight angle to help line things up.

Fantastic, exactly what I was looking for... Thanks for shooting me in the right direction!

UTFAN01SS, what did you end up using to make that connection from the MAF to the original intake? I noticed 6SPEEDIROC's set up different. I don't see the MAF on his.
Can you post a picture of what you ended up with? Thank you

I went to Lowes and bought a 3" pipe coupler and trimmed it at an angle to fit the air box. Used the stock LS1 bellow between the throttle body and MAF. Fits great and looks good too. This coupler came with two clamps also... <br/><br/>Its rubber and black so it doesn't stand out. Cheap and easy fix till I figure out something better.
