Default What size coupling for ls1 throttle body?

Do you guys know what size coupling an ls1 throttle body takes? I believe it's 4" but it also might be 3 3/4?

It's been a while, but I believe the TB mouth is 101mm which is just a hair shy of 4". 101/25.4 = 3.976"

If you buy an aftermarket (smooth) coupler to get rid of the stock accordian coupler, you need a reducer coupler that goes from 3.75" to 4". If my memory serves me correctly, the MAF takes the 3.75" side and the TB takes the 4".

Try siliconeintakes.com for cheap hoses.
