Do you think this 3" hose can be stretched to 3.5"?

This is the hose that comes w/ the turbonetics kit to route the air filter into the wheel well. I'm wondering if this can be stretched onto the Vortech blower to use.

yeah I could use a reducer to hook it to a small section of 3" piping, then to this 90 degree elbow...BUT, space is very limited where the Vortech blower and filter sit.

Don't think you will be able to stretch it, are you routing it to the front grill or down by the front tire? very tight fitting, good luck!

I'm wanting to route it in the wheel well, in front of the tire.

You dont want to try to stretch it over the end of the blower . You will be reducing the amount of air the blower can suck in . Use brake duct hose , the stuff the has a stiff wire in it so it doesnt collapse .
