I need a transition hose to go on a 60mm throttle body from the 2.5" IC pipe. Does anybody know exactly what size the throttle body side is? Forced4 has theirs as 3 3/16" ID but that size doesn't seem to exist other than theirs and the one I got from them lasted not too long, looking for a better one. Any source to get one from? Thanks...

Not having done this but having seen similar parts, I'd check home depot. They have some of those rubber adapter parts that might do the trick.
go junkyard and look under the hood of some pickup trucks

their air inlet hoses often have a variety of transitions and various elbows

they are typically heavy-duty construction and sometimes have the "anti-suck-shut-under-vacuum" spiral springs inside too

for example pre-97 V8 F150s have a pair of inlet hoses which are Great project material

Not cheap but they may have something that will work.

I bought a cheapie today. Soft silicone 3" so I could stretch it over the throttle body. I don't know if the reinforced will stretch like the non-reinforced. I really need to put a caliper on the throttle body and measure it. I think it's a little over 3". If anybody has a 60mm Mustang throttle body laying around that can measure it up it would be greatly appreciated. I have the original one that came with Stingers pipe kit and I can't get that thing on for nothing. It's stiff as a brick and doesn't stretch at all. Thanks... Chuck
