Coupling for the Frankencar!

Hey guys, Whats up? I got my frankencar intake, it's installed, but only with one coupling. Anyways, can does anyone have or know where I can get another one? I can't get through to the guys at Franken car lately and when I did a couple months ago they wanted too much. I tried home depo, but there 3" coupling was too big . So any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Hey, whats going on. I would of went the way you did yours but I didn't hear back from you! What kind of coupling are you using, since you got it from work? I jimmy rigged the the rubber acordian thing comming from the intake so it filled the gap between it and the midpipe. I am just a little weary on it since it is a thin foam tape. I don't think I should worry about it breaking up and going into the engine because it is really snug. But it will always be on the back of my mind. Thats why I want to replace it.

I went to walmart to replace that small coupling that holds the small hose on. The factory clamp wasn't keeping it on.
