    Nice.

    What brand did you say that was, again? I'd have someone on the horn right now over that and they would be overnighting me a replacement (or two).

    Go to Lowes and match up some rubber 3" couplings or elbows.

    No I was trying to clamp the thing down and apparently the connector slipped up a little I guess and it cut through. I guess some silicone and duct tape till the replacement part gets here Friday

    DO NOT USE SILICONE! You are talking about your INTAKE here. If anything, you should do like Screamin said and get some 3" rubber hose from lowes. If you arent, then just use duct tape. But remember, you're truck is going to want to suck in anything that gets in that gap, so if you dont seal that duct tape good, you'll be sucking the entire ball into your engine. Get some 3" rubber hose and be safe.

    Yes, you should be able to find that same rubber hosing. just check the wall thickness of what you have, and get the same.

    and by ball, i mean ball of tape, as in if you used some duct tape, you have a chance of sucking that ball into the engine, then you are screwed.
