Where to get smooth coupler???

In my other post I installed the FAST 90 on my car. I am looking for a smooth coupler I can put between my Honker and TB. Where can I get one? All I find are ones for the C5.

Thanks,
Andrew

Went and looked at my accordian style coupler. There is a sensor in it. If I replace it with a smooth coupler, how and where do I put that sensor?

What's the gain from this mod? Is it cosmetic only?

The accordion fitting is for the PCV system. It is not a sensor. Just pull the barb fitting out, poke a hole the smooth coupler and stick it in..
