Use Acetone right away to clean any excess. OK, that's about all I can think of. Let me know how it goes!

Holty,
parts list:

2 rubber 4", 22degree elbows
2 rubber 4" hump hoses (7/8" cut from each end with razor blade, electric palm sanded to perfection 40grit)
2 aluminum intake tubes (2" long 4" diameter) used as back-plate to glue the hump hoses and 22deg hoses together; 1" either side)
1 4" to 3.75" reducing sleeve for a tight fit on the 90mm TB (trimmed about 1/4" off the inner sleeve so it didn't hang past the edge of the TB flange; not necessary but a nice touch)
4 4" hose clamps of your choice
1 tube of loctite super glue professional (this stuff is ridiculous, I glued two rubber hoses together as a tester, put one end in the vise and grabbed the other end with channelocks; the rubber started tearing mid tube with the joint showing no signs of separating, not in the least bit, doh!)

your measurements might be +/- a few 16th's of and inch so make sure you measure everything out but this should get you in the ballpark
you should make some and sell em

Look at how clean that engine bay looks!!!!! Kinda wish it was a pic of the entire engine bay, but the teaser pic will do!!! IMO you need to send some pics to a magazine when it is finished!!!
