Need y-pipe boot size

What size are the boots going from the spider to intake manifold (early 99')? Mine are cracked and Ford wants almost $90 each

I got mine from intakehose.com. I go the 2.5 to 2 and the work fine. They are a little long so you have to cut them down some. Mine have been on for over a year with no problems. You have to cut off about a 1/2 inch or so off of each side of each boot.

Went ahead and ordered a set from diesel power products

Thinking about switching to 3" intake manifolds. Is there a boot out there that will fit w/o changing the turbo and all?

Whats everyone think of using a 2.5 to 3" reducer? Would be able to get it tight enough to not leak/pop with 40+ lb boost
