MAF Coupler
I'm looking for a new coupler between the MAF and the airbridge. Does anyone know who sells them or is there a Home Depot or Lowes item that will work? I see a lot of smooth couplers from the airbridge to the throttle body (two different diameter ends) but not the MAF to airbridge. 
Thanks.
Thanks.

Assuming you're talking about the oem system...
You could contact Gene at GMPARTSHOUSE, a site supporting vendor listed in the column to the left on the main menu page. He'll have oem genuine GM parts at a good price.
If you're talking about some after market system, contact the manufacturer or after market suppliers of "silicone reducer" or "silicone coupler" (internet search keywords). You're going to need to know the exact OD/ID of the MAF and airbridge and coupler so you don't experience any air leaks and codes.
The plumbing products found in the home improvement stores are best left to be used for their intended purpose. Most are inferior rubber, not heat resistant silicone, and are not intended for use in a hot engine compartment. Again, you'll probably experience eventual air leaks. I've experienced that personally with my former '96 Impala SS with an LT1. The heat cracked the DIY intake creating all kinds of issues.
It's your car to do with as you please.
