The inside diameter of the ABS pipe is 3" but the outside diameter of the throttle body and airbox is 2.75.

therefor a simple radiator tube wouldnt work as it would creatle wrinkles when compressed thus creating leaks.

I have gone to the big chain stores except for 1. (RONA) I will go there tomorrow to see if they have the reducers.

As for the brass fittings. They are simply a straight fitting (couldnt find any 90 degree ones) that is threaded on one end and barbed on the other, I just wanted to make sure copper would be okay and wouldnt be a problem with the engine ( I think they are copper, not really sure. I know brass is okay but I just want to cover my butt here)

My tube setup routing will work good with the bend in the middle and allow a little more access to the oil dipstick as I have seen others impeeded the access.

Thanks for your offer of getting the parts for me, I might just take you up if I can't find these couplers in this big chain store tomorrow.

Thanks for your help!
