Rydeit Member 327 Member For: 12y 9m 18d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide S.A Posted 17/11/13 09:09 AM Share Posted 17/11/13 09:09 AM My throttle body rubber joiner has turned to sh*t and has a fine split through it. Tried some 3" silicon hose I had for an intake. Did not fit at all after trying to get it to go on for ages. Where can I find the 3" stretchy rubber hose that is used on it from factory? I have a feeling 3.5" silcion hose will be oversized, need to stick with the standard rubber joiner.

Rip it out of the water nice and super hot. Quickly dry it and throw it on. Easy as!

Worked a charm and the car runs A LOT better now. Such a small part but made a massive difference if the old one was falling to sh*t. and Kylec u will have to check I think the airbox to crossover is 3.5". Not 100% sure though.

Spray both surfaces and slip the pipe on. The hair spray will got tacky once it dry. The silicone spray will probably stay silicony.
