blitz intake without the connector piece

Hi guys, I was just wondering what people did to use the blitz intake without that huge curvy connector piece that links the filter to the intake pipe. Is there pipe or coupler that can be bought? I've seen people on the forum with the filter connected to a metal pipe. Can we ask a shop to just fabricate it?

Oh does it look nice and have no problems? If it's not too much to ask, can you post pictures of your set up? Were the 5in couplers? I can't seem to find the right size ones. where did you purchase them?

Here is my link, I did a FMIC install and used the bigger of the two blitz piping , I had to make my own way to install everything cause fitting the two hks filters were a bit of a challenge

As for the couplers I just measured how big the openings were and ordered them from. A local performance shop

Oh so pretty much you just angled the pipes and used a bigger coupler to secure them? Can I get them at any shop or do you know a place?

ya i guess any performance shop that sells wheels intakes aftermarket stuff . just give a couple shops around your area a call to see if they can order something like that
