Those with 90mm+ MAF, what did you use to connect it to the y-pipe?
I don't believe the RS4 accordion hose will fit larger MAF housings (I have a 90mm lightning MAF). So I'm curious what people have done to connect the MAF to the y-pipe.
I STFA and found someone that had used what looked like a heavy duty dryer hose, but wanted to see if there were any other options. I looked at silicone reducer hoses, but they appear to have a pretty abrupt reduction in diameter, not to mention after adding a reducer you end up with a pretty sharp bend to make the final connection.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Those seem short. Also MAF OD = 4"; S4 y-pipe OD = ~3.44"
Thanks for the link,
Can you give more details? Because unless I'm missing something (all too likely), I don't see how those will work. 1/2 inch reduction in the space of an inch doesn't look good for airflow. Unless you mean a straight hose will stretch by half an inch, in which case the RS4 accordion would have a little less stretching to do.
