Off the throttlebody, use a 90 degree silicone transition coupler at 2.75 to 2.5

You can then purchase about a 12" 2.5 aluminum pipe to connect to the cold side intercooler pipe. You will need the transition couple of 2.5 to 1.75

You shouldn't spend an arm nor a leg. I use www.siliconeintakes.com exclusively and spent less than $50.00 for this exact set up. G/L

So did you completely eliminate the upper hose with the 12" length of aluminum pipe? Was 12" the right length or did you have to cut it?

Yes, as in the picture, the stock upper intercooler hose is removed. Package it away for safekeeping if you decide to revert your engine back to stock configuration. The length of the aluminum is approximate. Don't fret, a hack saw makes for easy cutting. Study those pictures along w/ the dimensions I provided and you'll be just fine.

Looks pretty slick, thanks. I guess I just have one more question. The second coupler looks like a 45 but it's hard to tell. Should it be a 90 or a 45?
