    4 inches in diameter and 7 inches long

    it fits nicely with a lot of room so you could go bigger if you like

    its called a street elbow. one side is 3 inches. the fatter side that would take another pipe inside it is 4 inches on the out side. cone filter fits right on it. if you are going to a pipe then you need a filter that will fit a 3 inch pipe. spectra filters fit a 4 inch, but have a ring to reduce it to 3 inches.

    the roof flashing you'll want a 3 inch boot to fit the pvc pipe.

    This is a far better deal. You can make it work pretty easy.

    AEM filters are the bomb, been running a 4x9 since like 2011. They sometimes have crazy deals on ebay where they are like 70% off, snagged a few for 20 each one time.

    best to buy one that got size rings that you can trim to size. home depot has em, lowes.

    if using pvc pipe thats normally like 3 or 4 inch and they sell the flashing in those sizes as well. 12946 - Oatey 12946 - 3" No-Caulk Roof Flashing (Aluminum)
