You'd be lucky to find one that bends that sharply from the throttle body on down to your intercooler. You need a 3-1/2 inch tube that bends 90 deg inside of 4 inches if you are fitting a 99+. I made my own from fiberglass after checking out all the options available. By fitting everything else in place except for that last tube, mold one from non-hardening modeling clay. reinforce it with some coat hangar to keep the shape from changing. then wrap it with strips of fiberglass that overlap as you wrap. After the first layer sets up, sand it smooth and apply a second layer. Mine are four layers thick now and just about ready to install. Cool things about this is that the whole process only cost about $25, the tube can be any shape I want and the tube can taper from one end to the other smoothly, not like with household plumbing fixtures. Good luck. Pics of these will be available on the board in a few weeks along with the rest of my install.180 Thermo, K&N Filter, Transgo stage 2, Pacesetters, Magnaflow cat, Flowmaster Catback, 3.42 LSD, Hotchkis LCA/Panhard, Bilstein, Eibach Pro, 1LE bars, SP crossdrilled/slotted rotors.<br /><br />Vortech Project 1.0 failed.<br />Vortech Project 2.0 in the works
