Default Help needed on Dual Cone install

I just purchased a dual cone intake from a fellow forum member and I have a question, or concern on the install. First it seems everything was shipped as promised. Now for the concern. The hose that fits around the dual and the throttle body seems to be the same size. However the throttle body measures 3 3/4 inches and the dual cone measures our to 3 1/2 inches. Seeing how there is a difference is this an issue or should I purchase a new rubber tube. Need assistance.

Should not be a issue. Did you get a silicone coupler with the dual intake? If you did, then it should fit. If not, then go to Autozone to get a "Specter" silicone coupler that measures 3 1/2 -3 3/4.

Tim,

Do you have a part#. I checked their site and found nothing.
