Default C6 intake reducer coupler

Corvette High Flow Reducer Coupler : 2006-2013 C6 LS3 stock throttle body to stock air cleaner. These 4 ply vinyl seem overpriced ($44.00 ++). Any suggestions?

You can get silicone couplers for as cheap as $10. You just need to know what size ID to get.

Thank you....two problems they don't list 4.75" I.D. (air cleaner O.D. side) and I do not know if the silicon can be heated safely. Spectre doesn't recommend heating it. I expect the silicon would be heat resistant but wanted to soak it in hot water to expand it 1/4" Also their reducers are only 3.5" long...I need 4.5"...What do you think? Appreciate your great assistance.

Ron, thank you for your offer. What company's reducer? I was hoping for black. I am in south Florida 33071. What' the economy shipping? Do you do PayPal?

Let me check when I run into town. I want to get at least 25 bucks for the thing. I've also got an offer of 30 shipped but you have first dibs.

Hey, folks. Let me save you all the hassle of clicking on the links posted....these vendors do NOT have the correct 4.75 to 4.0 size needed for our Vettes.
