I purchased a K&N Intake System for my truck, and a throttle body spacer as well. After putting the throttle body spacer on, the tubing of the intake was to high for the hood to shut. Instead of cutting into the supports of my hood, we decided it would be better to cut down where the cold air intake attaches to the spacer. This was a bad decision..... Now the rubber boot doesnt go around the sharp bend of the intake tube, and the clamps cant fit around the bend. I was searching a little online for intake tubes but cannot find anything. Its a 3 1/2" piece of tubing and I really do not want to spend the money on a new intake. Its cuurently duct taped in to hold it in place but the motor is not performing at its best. Any suggestions on what to do or maybe something I can purchse?

 

check ebay for 3.5 aluminum tubing i know ive seen some on there before

 

Good idea it's actually plastic but I'm still trying to look for it. I was also thinking about putting my Vortec Air Box on and attachin the piping to that.
