Default Throttle Body Bypass question

was thinking about this when had to remove TB for other maint. looking at hoses they dont meet without TB hooked up. seems like you would need 2 adaptors and a short hose. the kits online have one adaptor. how does that work?

LT1?

I think you can stretch and reconnect the hoses…

The best way is to replace the two hoses that the throttle body hoses splice off of with the later model that are one piece.
