Im installing the mini-ram and headers today. Whats good to use as an air duct for a 58mm throttle body? is there anything i can buy aftermarket?

My first question is this - do you have any other mod other than the miniram? if not, use the stock throttlebody, unless it is otherwise trashed.

I thought BBK sold some kinda intake tube.

Are you asking because you can't fit the stock duct over the 58mm TB? If so, I was able to stretch the end of the stock tube out enough to fit by applying heat to it while stretching it out. A little bit of grease on the end and it fit nice and snug.
