The real key to solving this problem would be getting my hands on a LS charge pipe so it will fit better. That may be a little too much effort, though, since my efforts have come up dry in the past.
Is it possible to purchase an LS charge pipe by itself and new? Why do you think it is difficult to obtain? Maybe some clean looking flex hose or heater hose may be a better fit where that coupling is.

Greddy does not sell just the LS upper charge pipe, so I will have to get one made.

I am definitely not going to ghetto rig it with heater hose or flex hose, though.

I was just making a mere suggestion of a temporary ghetto rig with a little more flexibility as opposed to the overextended coupling. That way you know it won't come off while your driving while you fish out that ls charge pipe. Ill keep my eyes peeled in case I see something.

Alright, thanks. I am probably just going to look for a new coupling, but it is also hard to find a 2.5" to 3" coupling.

You know I was at Pepboys the other day (i know I know) but they had couplings in the rice section. You might want to check it out. It looked like they had different sizes too.

I'm running Crome Pro. It is the same program but it has datalogging and auto-tune.
