Where to buy 3 1/4" intake pipe and couplings?

Post by rtreads »

Hi all. I need to get some 3 1/4" flex coupling and pipe for my intake. Seams all I find at Pep boys and Checker, ect is either 3" or 4". Does anyone know where I can buy other sizes local?

Thanks!

Junkyard. The OEM stuff will be better than the junk from pep boys or checkers!

Thats what I thought, but I need NON-OEM configurations... I think aftermarket is the only way.

....maybe boost pipe from those import tuner guys?

I found this intake tube from an E250 w/7.3. Junkyards has lots of shapes and sizes.

I am still with the junkyard! As Viper said there is all sorts of shapes and sizes there! Bring a tape measure and an idea of what shape....I bet you will find something that is perfect!

I have a tube that is 3 1/8" i.d. and 3" i.d. on the other side if you think you can stretch it. Pretty stiff though. It has about a 15 degree bend in it. It looks like autozone carries a bunch of that stuff so you may try there too.

I tried my old rubber elbow from the mustang TB. Its 3" i.d. but I cant get it to streatch that much.

I will check auto zone.... sucks cause thats the only thing keeping me from driving it to the breakfast.
