Intake Pipe Size

For some reason I cannot find this anywhere and I am at school so I can't go measure it myself, but does anyone know the size of the piping that comes on most short ram/CAI setups for 4th gens? Is it 2.75"?

Hmm. Reason I ask is because the way my intake is setup + the 00VI swap, things aren't sitting correctly with a flex section attached to the throttlebody and then the short ram intake piping (temporary). I was considering getting either a 22.5º or 45º elbow and attaching that to the throttlebody and then attaching the short ram to that rather than using a flex section, which obviously isn't working for many reasons.

So if I got said I elbow, I would need 2.75" to attach to the throttlebody, but would the other end need to be 3" or 2.75"? I don't know how those intakes are setup (i.e. is the pipe attached to the throttlebody bigger than the throttlebody? I forget).

Yup, even for the A33. In some of my intake set-ups for my A33, I've used asftermarket (2.75") A32 hardware.

A friend of mine has an Injen, I had a PR at one time , and then there's Berk (A33).

The only one that is 3"ID is the Stillen/JWT venturi opening, so I may have fibbed a touch in my earlier post. But, it's still not piping, so
