Default Someone please help with intake

So I bought a used blackwing intake and it doesn't have the coupler to attach the maf to the blackwing. I have a 98. I tried using a reducing coupler since the maf is 3.5 and the intake is 4 inches. But it made the intake tube sit to high. My question is what is the solution to making this all for correct. I can't find the coupler for the blackwing anywhere. Anybody have the same issue?

Jb, I ran into this problem also, bought from a member on here, said it was from a '99. Showed up with no reducer for '97-'00. I called SLP and the a "parts guy" tried to sell me a bellow kit that he said hooked up to the "brick" looking thing...lol. I had to explain to him that the bellow went between the throttle body and air bridge! No help at all, I'm going to keep trying, that 4" to 3.5" reducer HAS To come with the filter. Let me know if you find anything and will do likewise. Well, I found out mine is for '01 to '04's. which is useless to me. I'm just going to buy a new one and never buy used crap again.
