Hi Guys, After alot of fibre-glass work, the new carbon-fibre-air-intake-box for my 2006 LS6 GTR is completed. Only thing left to find is a Coupler (rubber, like samco f.e.)to connect the 5 PIN MAF to the carbon fibre 180° elbow guiding the air from the box down to the throttle body... Therefore I´d need a Coupler with a inner diameter of 94mm. Checked Samco (only 89mm and again 102mm), Truck Exchange Part Dealers (got nothing), Racing-Parts-Supplier, GM/Corvette Dealer(s) .... Nothing found.. Has anyone an idea where to get a 94mm coupler ?

Thanks for any help......

P.S.: In case anyone has got an LS1 or LS6 injector-engine (as I have) and should have the problem, that engine stops often when rpms fall down quickly (f.e. when driving quite fast and braking because a signal turn red...)...in my case it was the too-small-air filter, which caused the engine to choke/suffocate....with the new air-box and the new bigger air filter this problem is done...

Lutz: I gather the piece you need is a short section of 91mm silcon hose? I may be able to help. Could you please show a picture of your airbox so that I can get a better idea of what you are after? Lee

HI,
Thank you alot for your help! Indeed a short piece of a 91mm dia (about 8-10cm) would
help me with my problem in case the silicon hose is a bit flexible so I could stretch
it to 93mm if necessary.

Let me know, where I might get it and how....

Thanks again
