Default poor mans CAI

I found this nd Im 100% dedicated to doing it before monday, only one question, what the heck is a rubber boot? pics? desciptions?

instructions
1 Go and buy the front cone section of a K&N type of filter.
2 Buy 3 large hose clamps about 3".
3 Now go to home depot and find the pluming section. Get a 3" rubber boot about 3 to 4" long.
4 Now while at home depot get your self a nice dryer hose. Preferably you should get the metal type of hose and flexible. 5 You have to remove your current cold air intake.
6 Place the new air filter on the rubber boot and clamp with #1 clamp.
7 Place flex hose on other opening and clamp with #2 clamp.
8 Run flex hose through opening toward air flow meter and attach to air flow meter with #3 clamp.

5 You have to remove your current cold air intake.
What? You have to remove the CAI to install a crapier CAI?

If you're going to do this, go get a K&N cone filter and some PVC pip and elbows. Or eBay.... $30 man on eBay.

i copied and pasted it from another site, but I cant find an intake that will fit my car and idk where you guys find them for $30, they are usually 29.99 buy it now, look at the shipping though its like 20-25.

so its more like $55.
