Default Blackwing question

I have a blackwing intake, im in the process of installing it and i realize that i dont have the gasket that connects the blackwing to the MAF.
Do you think homedepot or lows may have something that will fit?

Can I stick the MAF into the blackwing without the gasket to drive down to lows?

Hey ... is there one on the OEM box you can use?

EDIT::: Nevermind ... I know I used a clamp from the OEM box .. I was thinking it may have been a coupler.

Man ... I don't think I would drive like that ... I'm gonna say stay cautious . Just put the OEM one back on ... only takes a few minutes?

If you lived closer ... I'd have given you a second one I got ... buddy of mine wrecked his Z and gave me the BW

damn.. im thinking that maybe i can take a razor and cut part of the gasket that was on the stock filter and put it on the MAF, then from there wedge it into the blackwing (since the opening of the blackwing is larger than the MAF part...

Sounds like you got the Blackwing for the 01-04 which have a larger MAF.
