Shouldn't need to. With the C&L pipes we have, they came with a small piece of hose that goes on the TB (on a stock TB), then the coupler (hose) from the pipe goes over that and it then gets clamped together. But with a 70 or 75, you don't use the small piece of hose.
If you don't have this option, and have trouble stretching the coupler over the new TB, put it in some hot water to make it more pliable, then put a lil WD-40 on it and it should go on.

Well, your sig says you have the Steeda pipe. We have C&L inlet pipes (2 of em, 2 GTs). But both have similiar blue rubber or silicone tubing or hose to flew between the pipe and the TB (and, at the other end as well - in your case, the SC).
Here's a pic - is this (the blue hose/tube/thingie) what you are talking about? Note on mine (the 02), the inner hose/tube/thingie is not present, but on the 01 with the OEM TB, it is there...does Steeda have something like that or does the hose fit OEM up to 75mm?
