Cant remember if it was around 76 / 78mm mark as you need to take into account the difference in size on the throttle body depending if your obd1 or obd2

I thought the point of the Power Rohr was that it was a simple swap for the original part, so used the original rubber ends? :shrug: The idea was that it's got much thinner walls than the standard plastic part and so has a bigger internal diameter allowing some more air in through it... (oh, and it that added a bit of "bling" to the bay! :lol: )

Just so people don't get wrong idea of what I'm needing in the image it's the rubber pipe that sits on either end I just need it for the throttle body size as I bought the power rohr off eBay today with no pipe

There aren't any 'original rubber ends', those ones come with the Power Rohr. Either you have a (later) plastic inlet elbow with corrugations around the corners and a flat spot to allow a jubilee clip to fit around it, or you have an early inlet elbow which are rubber throughout.

 

76mm is about right, I believe it's actually specified as 3". So long as it fits over the MAF and throttle body there's no need to get too hung up on it!

Ah right only ten mins away, if you want and they fit you can have the black rubbers for a fiver they have never been used only for the mock up but I'm changing them for blue ones, you could even bring it and fit it, but you would need some big jubilee clips
