I am having an ongoing issue with my CAI. As a Saleen, the Roots style blower pushes the throttle body out at an angle. After purchase of a GT MAC CAI, I had to cut the hell out of the pipe as seen in the picture.

http://www.2bones.com/modules.php?s...me=Gallery4&file=index&include=view_photo.php

At the top, I have a lot of slippage, and from time to time the engine will have a vacuum leak due to the connection being less than the angle necessary to correctly attach to the Throttle Body.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the replacement of this pipe? I have heard that a new Pro M MAM would replace this part, and be a nice upgrade, but hoping for some cheaper, quicker alternatives.

TIA

You could maybe try Home Depot and buy one of those larger metal claps. Its two hose claps over a 2 inch round piece of thin stainless steal.

Is that 3" diameter pipe? On my Shelby Daytona, I went to a muffler shop that could mandrel bend pipe and had all the turbo/intercooler/tb plumbed with 3" stainless.
