Getting custom piping made, few ?'s
I'm getting 2.5" piping made for all of my IC piping.
On the pipe coming off the throttle body what kind of adaptors do I need to hook up the sensors?
Just a hole with a grommet type fitting for the (i believe) o2 sensor?
Also, the dongle that goes to my downpipe and hooks in is not long enough now that it is running on the driver side. Is there a way to extend this? Just splice the wire and extend?
I'd like this to be as complete as possible, thanks.

Re: Getting custom piping made, few ?'s (phreakmang)
you should not need any gromets/ fittings in the piping at all and I dont believe for an o2 sensor... those go in the spent exhaust air stream, not the intake.
I would make a harness to extend it so you dont have to splice or damage the oe harness... just use spade connectors and make up an extension harness to the sensor.
other similar option would be to use male/ female connections and double end your extension wiring... then splice the oe harness and use male/ female connections of the ends to connect to your harness (that way you can at least take the extra out if you ever put it back to normal.

oh the iat is what you were refering too... sorry, dtmamg is correct info.

Just off the throttle body I drilled a 1/2" hole in my piping, then used a piece of rubber fuel line as a grommet for my IAT sensor. I also had a nipple attached to my piping so that I can run my IACV (Venom intake manifold does not have anywhere to mount it).
