Has anyone found a direct silicone replacement for the J boot? I ripped mine AGAIN and I really don't want to spend money on another rubber Jboot that'll just rip in the future.

I took some measurements. the TB side is 3" and the AFM side is 2.75"

so does anyone know where to get a 3"-2 3/4" reducer and a 135deg elbow in one piece?

I got one sitting around if you need it...$10 + ship.

the rubber one? no thanks hehe. i'm shopping around for a silicone.

Ive never seen or heard of a silicone replacement.

FYI, brand new stock ones are $127 and dont rip easily at all. It would take a knife. Very soft and flexible.

yea $127....

I guess I'll just have to get two seperate pieces off ebay.

I just noticed you dont have a turbo, so thats the wrong part that i posted...

krystar

yea i got a early NA.

the NA jboot is this
http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/...escription=Air Intake Boot%2C 944 (1983-89)%2C 924S (1987-88)%2C Each

$45

but i'm still leaning towards spending a little extra and going to silicone.

It would be nice but I've never seen any aftermarket replacement for the NA J-boot.

krystar

yea catamax, that's what i'm thinking...but his angle is wrong. although i guess with a cone filter sucking in hot air, it doesn't matter.

i'm aiming to get the original angle and possibly extending into original cold air intake like the orig airbox. experiments are fun

look where we got with the cheap clutch experiment heh.
