Siliconeintakes.com I think...only one place seems to sell 6" silicone intake hoses. I still gained 40hp by taking it off on the dyno

For a total of how many horsepower? 40 seems like a ton of power to lose from a tube and filter, but you're not making small power to begin with so I bet the percentage loss isn't too bad...

Pretty sure you got those big rubber elbows from Air Flow Systems (airflo.com). Only place I've found that sells any kinda big rubber elbows They are for semi's and pretty cheap.

Donaldson sells them too, not sure who actually manufactures them though. I'm running the 5" one with a huge K&N filter.
