mass air boot

anybody know where i can get another boot for my car that goes from the k&n cai to the mass air? the one that came with the kit has swollen and stiffened up over the years and i dont really think its sealing good. anyone know where i can get one of the turbo style boots and what size?

Home Depot sells Fernco sewer pipe adapters that are a perfect fit. Might want to check it out, and they're only $7!

3" Fernco softened up in some hot water works perfectly. Just did mine a couple of weeks ago.

If this is that 'tube adapter' you can get that part from K&N.Their customer service is the best;they sent one to me "no charge".

Yes, the K&N has a million mile warranty, IIRC. Call'em and see.

Re: mass air boot

The Fernco is thick and hard to use. You don't need anything that rugged to connect your CAI tube to the MAF sensor. Check the ricer places that sell quality silicone couplings.... thin, flexible and durable.

I have the Fernco between my ram air box and the throttle body, and its fine that location, but its a 1/2" thick.

Look at the simple blue silicone connector on this throttle body:
