cold air intake silicon hose?

anyone know where i can get the three little black pieces of silicon hose or couplings...whatever they are called....that come with the CAI's? i went to a bunch of places around here (hope depot, lowes, walmart, performance shop, autozone, pepboys) and no one sells them. i emailed dallas wondering if i could buy those 3 pieces from wsp if they had any, but he hasnt responded and its been a good 4-5 months. mine are tearing apart and i want to get new ones. thanks in advance.

check any import shop.. they should have them in a size close enough from their stock of CAIs.. or go to a parts store and see what kind of huge radiator hose they've got. that's all they use in the WSP kit. where they get theirs I dunno though.

Are you telling me that in the capital city of Texas, there are no performance shops at all? I dont know any specific names but I would think there are some.

Go to the plumbing section at Home Depot and check the 3" Ferco No Hub Rubber coupling. It will definitely work for the CAI piping, but it won't connect to the TB since it's smaller. You will have to get an extra coupling, cut a strip out of it and use it as a shim. That is the ghetto way I did mine.

If I had to do it the right way, contact WSP and ask them to sell you some. Or do what Matt said and find a 3" radiator hose and cut pieces out of it. That is what my WSP couplings are made of. I personally have not seen hoses this big at Pep Boys.
