Okay, I'm getting close to bolting things back up, so bear with me as I comb the brain trust with questions...

On a larger carb application, what are odyssey owners doing about the intake elbow?

I don't see how I can stretch the stock boot up over the carb I plan on using

A TMX 38mm from an 01 CR250

I'm not using the stock airbox (don't have one) so any general 90 degree will work

I need about a 2.375" to 3" (or 60mm to 75-76mm) boot

Is there an easy solution?

Soak in hot water


Intake manifold will probably need some heat to stretch too.

You can heat the stock elbow in some boiling water which will make it pliable enough to go over the end of a larger carb.

I have stretched one over the 62mm boot of a Mikuni TM38 with no problem.
