Default Intake coupler Q??? Need you HELP!

So, I have a 99 Lude and I bought a J's racing Whale ***** intake, but it did not come w/ an intake coupler. So, I need to know what size to buy? I want to AutoZone and bought there APC generic ****, but it didn't fit the throttle body or the intake inlet. So, I was wondering what size coupler I need to get, I was thinking maybe a 3.5" - 3.0" not sure what size I need to fit the my stock throttle body. Any help would be great Thanks.

I do, but just wanted to make sure especially for the side that connects to the intake, since it's bigger.

OK, ruler = check.

Measure throttle body opening, then measure intake tube. Then buy silicone reducer that has those 2 sizes.
