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.

Re: SD TPI Intake Duct/Tubing
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.
