Default Vortex Rammer filter problem

I bought a new spare filter for my Vortex Rammer from a forum member but ran into a problem at install. It seems that Vortex has changed the filter design since mine was made as the replacement has a rubber intake that is about 5/8" too short to reach the MAF neck
I have located a piece of 3.5"od plastic pipe, but still need a short 3.5" id rubber coupler to bridge the gap.

Any ideas where I could locate one ?

Check with Chip at Custom Corvette Accessories. He may have a coupler that size.

You should check with http://www.breathlessperformance.com/

They made changes for 2001-up, but, I believe, the filters are the same for all years. The 2001-up intakes have different PNs, and the filter PNs are the same for all years.
Are you sure you have a BPP filter? Maybe an off-brand, as BPP has their own exclusive filters.

Possible it is not OEM BP....was supposed to be.....but at this point I seek a low cost coupler to resolve the issue.

Looks like about $15 for a piece of 3.5" id hose.......guess that will do.
