I'm in Wasington DC, the capital of the free world, and I can't find a pair of 5/16 barbs.

But EricDWong found me a giant fitting specialist where I can order the barbs and other stuff online. Gonna order them tonight, and I'm trying to anticipate what kind of fittings I'll need in the future, so I can order them all tonight and save on the shipping costs.

Is this for a budget custom midpipe? I just finished mine today, and am painting it now, I picked up a 1/2" barb but it was too small for both the tubes. The next best thing I could find was 5/8" screw on connectors, and they fit the ~5/8" crankcase vent pipes snugly, but well. Don't go spending all kinds of money until you try some other sizes.

Heh... I made mine 8.5" and my $20 cone was right up against the right side of the engine bay. Had to take it back inside and chop off that 1.5". 7 seems to be the right length. Good thing I had these:
