The plumbing department of any hardware store should have 3" rubber
elbows. I have a "Fernco Kwik Ell", or something like that. The big side
goes on the MAF. Cut the other side to shape, using the smaller ID part
to go over the TB.

I'm in the process of getting my 80mm MAF in place. I have an adapter
for the
MAF on the inlet side that should work fine mated up to the stock
airbox lid.
I was planning on using a piece of SS exhaust pipe for the run from the
end of
the MAF to the TB. Was gonna stay with the 3.5in diameter that the MAF
lets
out with all the way up to the TB.
I know that I can spend $42 for a 3.5in to 3in reducing coupler in
silicone #
F2HZ-6C640-G from Ford. But being the cheap bastard that I am I'd love
to find
another cheaper source. I've been looking around the home depot and I'm
not
sold on anything there. Specifically because there is no give in any of
the
plumbing connectors. I want something that will give a little as the
engine
moves around the very little that it does (thanks to kirk's mounts) and
I'm
not going the clothes dryer duct route.
What I want doesn't even have to be silicone, plain old rubber couplers
would
do fine too. I'm searching around the net, but haven't found anything
good
yet. If anyone knows of a place that I should look please let me know
