Diameter of hose that connects Air Filter to blower

According to the Stillen notes it says "Silicone Hose, Blue - Æ3 ½” air filter to
supercharger 407000-11". What is the outside diameter of the blower entrance?

Found out last night that its 3" outside diameter for the connection to the pancake K&N filter, so a 3" to 3.5" hose is required.

Reason I'm asking is because I'm going to replace all of the silicone connectors.

Now for the 90 degree bend from the blower to the cross over tube, would that be 3" outside diameter for both ends?

(1) Silicone hose, Black - 90°, supercharger to cross
over tube 407000-13

The bend coming out of the blower to the charge pipe is a 2.75" to 2.5".

And for the blower to air filter connection, I also thought it was a 3.0" to 3.5" reducer coupler, but it is actually 3.5" the whole way (I bought the 3.0/3.5 reducer silicon and found out the hard way). That's assuming you're using the stock K&N pancake from Stillen.

Confirmed.

3.5" o.d. for the Vortech inlet and the stock K&N filter.

2.75" i.d. to 2.5" i.d. for the stock 90^ rubber elbow.

I've been checking my local market for silicone hoses and it looks like the 2.75" to 2.5" is non-existant. Could anyone suggest where I could find such a part? I remember seeing pics of clocked blowers with non-Stillen rubber elbows.

Finally found one. I know its a tricky part to find and I know alot of guys in the past just bought it from Stillen to avoid finding it.

I think this would work. http://store.extrememotorsports.com/home.php?cat=288 First one on the page. SKU: 490-250/275X6 Our price: $53.99

Wow, good find Matty. BlackCat, you might consider going all 3". It isn't that difficult nor expensive.
