Default Looking for info. Silicone coupler.

I found an eBay store that sells HQ couplers for a reasonable price. Now all I need to know is what size..

I have the stock air bridge, i.e. oval end.

The ones I've seen from our forum sponsors look like they have a larger diameter on one end, which makes sense..

It would be great if someone could let me know the specs, i.e. diameter of each end, so I can see if this place has something that works.

I've heard about the 4x5 Fernco deal; but I have to assume one end really doesn't fit correctly. Thanks in advance.

The one I had on my '98 measures:

3.75" x 4" on the TB side (inside diameter)
4 1/4 x 4 3/4"" on the airbridge side (inside diameter)
5 1/4" length

Just measured it. It fit perfectly with the stock TB and stock airbridge. I kept it when I sold the car. This size fis all '97 - '00 Corvettes only. If interested I will sell you mine otherwise these are the measuremnts you need.
