Default K&N sleeve from TB to CAI doesn't fit!

I bought the BBK 62mm TB and the K&N CAI. The sleeve that came with the K&N is designed to fit the 55mm, stock TB. I'm working on uploading a picture, but the twin TB mouth is too big for the rubber sleeve provided by K&N. Where can I get a coupler/sleeve that will fit snug on both the 62mm TB and the K&N hard plastic CAI?

One more reason why aftermarket TBs are completely useless and a waste..

FWIW, either K&N or BBK should have the couplers.. I've seen them a few times.

Gotta love the classy response, TRex. We don't all know what you know. Gawd! Anybody else know a spot to find this stuff-- i figured K&N and BBK, but trying not to order without knowing it's designed to solve the issue.

What he said is actually true, those aftermarket TBs are known to cause all kinds of idle problems, and I assume you are running without a tune? In that case, most of these boltons are going to be worthless (compared to their benefit with tune)

Lol, sensitive much? Grab a tampon..

My reply was to help you, order from K&N or BBK, it's not a hard issue to solve.. Just look at K&N or BBK, for the last time.

Not sure where you could get the coupler. Weird that it doesn't fit as my stock intake and my Airraid CAI fit both my BBK 62mm TB when I had it and they both fit on my stock TB with no issues after I scrapped the BBK from having to many issues with codes and then it finally killed my TPS motor which requires buying a whole new TB to replace.

Alright-- problem solved. It took two of us and some a shoe horn, but we got the coupler from K&N onto the 62mm TB. Just a "little" stretch. Mickey Mouse has LEFT the building. Thanx for the assist.
