I don't quite understand why you would go with a 4" since there would be no gains.
To the OP-
You can get any filter with a 3.5" opening and it will fit on the blower. I am currently using an Amsoil EA filter. With that in mind you can use aluminum 3.5" tubing if your good and make it work or you can use 3.5" silicon bends. Whatever works best for you.

BTW - My Vortech kit with the S-Trim made 400 to the wheels stock block. We are going to tune the T Trim to see what we get soon.

3.5 inches on the tuner kit (SQ trim). The cheapest alternative might be to adapt the Injen CAI (like we did). It has plently of silicon couplings, aluminum tube, etc. and you can trim it to fit. The larger Injen air filter can be wedged behind the bumper brace (with a lot of grunting).
Hope that helps
