Default Vararam coupler inside diameter, anyone?

Looking at the Vararam website I see, as usual, there is no technical data for sizes, lengths, etc. I wonder if the thing will fit a 97 MAF? Could someone measure the id of that red coupler that comes with the kit? Also, I noticed it does not include an air bridge or hose to replace the stock bellows. What would it be like with a stock air bridge and a new hose to the throttle body? This puts the cost up over a freakin' Honker!

I'm using it on my 98, which should be the same. Also, I got one of those silicone couplers from Ecklers to replace the bellows and just punched a hole in the side to stick the fuel regulator into.

I got you covered as soon as it stops raining. I have about 5 units in my car but will grab one when the rain stops and measure it for you.

3.75" ID, 1 9/16" wide. You could probably get away with 1 3/4" on the width.
