For awhile now I have had a leak some where between the IC and the intake and just so there is no confusion Im running and K/B A2A IC , well after weeks of frustration I think I have finally found my problem!!! The boot I was using to conect the pipe from the IC to the Throttle Body had what looked like a razor fine slit on the far side starting from the apex of the oval to just about the half way point on the bottom side, the reason I never saw it was because it was such a fine tear that the only way to see it was by slightly bending the boot. Now I was hoping that some of you guys might have some pics of what you guys have done to connect a round pipe to that funkie oval throttle body???

Re: Looking For Tb Intake Ideas!!!

didnt see any pics that helped. getting the parts to do the job isnt the prob. getting an idea of how to do it and what it should/might look like is. Really what I need are some pice of modified engine bays so I can get an idea of how people connected thier intake pipes to the throttle body ya know what type of hose connecter and how big they are that sort of thing..

I've seen a number of people weld an oval mouth to the intake tubing and add a lip to it, and then use the stock style hose and clamps to connect it

Is that a red/silver "VORTEC" emblem on the valve covers or was it painted? I like the way that looks.

Don't mean to hijack the thread so I'll make it short. PM me if you want more information.
I'm guessing that those above are painted. I put a decal on mine as seen below and so far it's holding up quite well. I drive the truck once a week every week so I know it has plenty of chance to get hot but they still look great. I have more of them that I cut just incase I needed to replace them. If you want a set I'll send them to you $5 shipped. By the way, the silver part is painted, the decals are just the red part. Here's a pic...
