Default What Intake pipe could i use for my 72 mm TB?

I just bought a 72mm OD diameter TB that tapers to 70, what intake pipe will fit over this? I know my stock h22 stock intake pipe wont. Will a Type S intake Arm fit over it? Does anyone have the ID of the Type S intake for the TB hole?

well, let's look at it logically.
1. the stock honda prelude TB is 65mm ID.
2. you figure it's honda, so they've added some extra material, say 1-2, maybe even 3mm per side extra metal. because people bore out the stock ones to 68mm and they're still usable.
3. how much material is there around where the intake chamber attaches to the TB from Honda? A LOT.
4. honda intakes fit snug. a little loose, say 1mm play, but tight fitting after that.
5. say the stock intake size is made for the 65mm TB, how much material would need to be removed to clear a 72mm TB considering it is already 68+/- mm stock?
6. 2mm per side.
7. hence, there should be a way to clearance a bit of material from the intake piping to have it clear the intake pipe.

not the best answer, but until you or i (with my 70mm TB) or someone says Yay or Nay, the logic of math rules.

*note* if i'm wrong about the stock TB size, then this whole proof goes to H3ll in a handbasket.
