Where to find Intake Adapters?, help? Options

[95CelicaST]

When I took my car to the Toyota Dealership a month ago some dumbas$ there attepmted to remove my intake without loosening the fastener around the rubber adapter. It ripped pretty good. Right at the throttle body. It is getting progressively worse as the days go on, so I went to buy another one. Schucks said they don't carry any, but sent me to another place. The other place told me that I have to contact the manufacturer to get a new one, but my intake was shop-built. I KNOW it shouldn't be this hard to find. All I need is a new rubber/silicone adapter for my intake. Where the hell do I need to go to get one?

is this the factory air box or an aftermarket one?

Aftermarket. Sorry if it wasn't clear.

find out the size you need and got to your local car parts store. they should have them in the ricer section

Should I measure the inner-width of the intake or of the adapter?

measure the outer diamiter of your throttle body (2.25in i think?) and the outer diamiter of your intake.

its either going to be 2.25 2.50 or 3in. so if you intake piping is 3in ...and your throttle body is 2.5in .. .then u get a reducer in that section. most pep boys or other car parts stores should stock them

Alrighty. ST Throttle body is 2.5", so everyone write it down somewhere. I managed to just turn the adapter around for now, the crack isn't at the throttle body anymore. I will go out and get a set of new ones tomorrow.
