[Shotimes] Air intake couplers, anyone know of a good place?

[Paul Nimz]

I've used there products on the '97 for the last three years.  The 3"
coupler will stretch to 4" and compress to 2".  It is very flexible.  The 4"
elbow is perfect for a cone filter and fits through the fender hole easily.
If you drill a hole in it for a port or sensor mount always undersize it .
A 5/16" hole for a 3/8" sensor.
