You can try a TRUCK supply store ... the big rigs I am talking. They have rubber rad hoses that are 3 and 4 inch diameters. Some preformed 90's and such.

For my setup, I bought a LT1 elbow for a 1LE car (no air, no sound baffle thing). It costs a fwe bucks, but it really looks and works well.

I too am in CAnada, and the price at GM was not all that Bad. SLP will also sell you one .. I think 55 us. In CDN, I think I paid 130 or so at the dealer.

Something to think about.
Mark.

Huh? Throttle body to the plenum?? Don't worry, I think I know what you mean.... you're talking about the accordion POS from the TB to the 90* box that bolts to the MAF, right? After all, you didn's say what year your car is. Your best choice would be to get the elbow from an 88 Formula... I saw a pic of it one time on here and that's where I got the idea. Sort of like the Impala SS elbow but longer, and it is a perfect fit over the MAF. From then on it's up to you, stainless 3 1/8 o.d. piping, flex hose from a 89 TTA, whatever you want.

Yep, that's it.... I picked it up at the dealer for $28 about a month ago, I think it retails for about $36 or so but we get a deal on parts because the dealer sponsors our club.
