Looking for a 3.5" inside diameter intake elbow to fit OE '94 LT1 MAF. Cheap is good. Thanks!

Do you need anything more than the elbow?

Does it need to be metal? Send me some dimensions we can draw something up.

@RtR: Sorry, here's a better description: I'm looking for a rubber / silicone intake elbow, 3.5" ID, smooth (not bellows).

@matthewmcl, I guess I could use a foot or two of 3.5" OD tubing as well. 
 

thanks y'all!

Thinking about options, here's what I know:

throttle body 2x 48mm blades. Total area 3619 mm^2

MAF ID id about 3" (76 mm), total area 4536 mm^2

Seems like 3" tube would be fine, so once I get the rubber elbow I'll be able to piece the rest of it together no problem.

Biggest I have right now is a 3.0 to 2.75 reducer elbow (soft) with a 2.75 x 12" aluminum straight.

For the Challenge, would a Fernco coupler available at any big box store work?
