i need a 2" silicone coupler that is about 6" long and straight.. with my new setup, i ran into a couple dead ends, and it comes down to needing a longer silicone coupler for my upper IC piping. i dont care what color it is, i just need it ASAP, so i can get this damn car on the road. i could start it up now, but it wont run right obviously without the charge piping connected.

can anyone give me good sites with silicone couplers, that i can get it shipped pretty quickly.

thanx peeps..

Go to truck parts store, They use 2-3 inch coolant hoses that will hold alot more pressure than the silicon will and they will last forever, thats what I used and it holds up fine plus you can buy it buy the foot in most truck places.

Yeah, except for Napa only carries it in foot lengths and it's like 75 bucks per foot. Autozone has couplers but they are the standard 3 to 4 inches in width.

ill go to autozone today, just need to change the flat on the grand am..

DTN, i dont need to use flex couplers or piping, just a longer coupler. with my new setup, the piping only goes into the coupler about a half inch, and i want at least 1.5" to be in the coupler so it holds, and thats why i need just a lil bit longer one..

now i need to plug in my laptop to an extention cord, and go out to the car to reset my tps sensor.. lmao.gif cuz the damn battery died on the laptop
