W202 with CAI

Anyone here with a custom CAI in their w202? I need some couple of questions answered as I'm starting to build one for mine. 3" tubing

The diameter of our MAF is 2.75" right? I got a silicone adaptor 2.75" - 3.0" will this fit directly to another straight silicone hose with 3.0" diameter or do I need another size of coupler to make it connect to each other?

Thanks.

if i m reading this right you can use a silicone adapter to go from 2.75 to 3 so that you can use 3 inch tubing. as long as the inner diameter is 3 inch you will be fine.
i used a silicone elbow on my kompressor that went from 2.75 to three inch so i could use 3 inch stainless steel tubing.

Thanks Logic for the response. I'll be ordering all the materials I need on eBay. Probably by next month it's done. It takes times to get all the materials here. And I'm making sure that everything will fit properly cause it's expensive to ship it all here. I'll cross my fingers for now.
