Hey all, does anyone know where I can find a replacement reducer/coupler (rubber boot) connecting the air intake plumbing to the throttle body? Ford is saying it is obsolete, and I would prefer NOT to spend $250 + to purchase a "cold air kit" just to replace the boot with something else. I already have a cold air kit placing the air filter in the fender well with a metal tube attaching it to the stock parts from the MAF assembly up to the throttle body. Thanks for your help.

what year is your car?

2001 Bullitt.....my other kid! First time posting, so I'm a bit new to the whole thing (no face book either, so when I say new, I'm NEW!)

you should be able to find something similar from any of the manufacturers of silicone couplers used in different boosted applications. I will look to see what I have, but don't think I have one of those. you may also check with someone like MPS...one of the big Mustang salvage yards. also, you may want to see if you can find a part number and see if the Mach 1 or the earlier, i,e. Cobra mustangs take the same coupler since I believe both of those use the oval TB.

Thanks for the links! I have already ordered and received the boot from Spectre, and while it will hook up to both the body opening and the first plastic tube, it has zero bend where the stock boot angles down at near 45 degrees. Without the downward slope, the entire set up is lifting causing the air temp (i believe) sensor to contact the hood. I googled MPS and found that they have a 2001 bullitt in their yard (Georgia, I'm in California). The set up on that Bullitt is not the same as mine as there seems to be a single tube coming off the throttle to the MAF assembly. Even though, I believe this might work. I'll give them a call tomorrow. Thanks for the help!
