throttle body bypass upgrade

I bypassed my TB. But I want to make it look nicer by replacing the looped hose and fitting with a straight pipe fitting. I mean I want to get a simpler peice in between the hose and the engine. does anyone have any suggestions. thanks. if its been talked about already, can someone post the link?

I like the way Dean did it (AFrikinGoodTime). Check post #19 in this thread for an explanation:

Re: throttle body bypass upgrade

Ok great info! One last sort of stupid question. Are there any gaskets, silicon, thread tape products to make the process easier and last longer? Thanks a million. You were right on the money.

Some thread sealant paste w/Teflon is recommended for the NPT fitting that goes into the intake manifold. Nothing is required where the two AN pieces fit together.
