Nice idea as an alternative. Thanks, manworst case scenario get some thick vac line and cut it half way and you can slip it around the metal and just hide the seem on the bottom.
Thought about that but too much dinero for a small piece. I was able to buy black silicone couplers to replace the blue onesI wanted a red one for my old Mustang but could never find one, ended up buying one of those cheap ~$20 china CAI's off ebay, used the seal, gave the filter away to a buddy and tossed the rest in the trash
