Silicone couplings?

Where do you guys get silicone couplings for your turbo/SC piping? I am having my SC piping coated, and I want to put some new couplings on it once I get it back. But I am wondering where I can get some good quality couplings, that look nice. I will need 2 that will fit on the SC piping and one to fit on the SC piping to the PF TB. Thanks for any imput, the only place I have look is ebay....I would rather have something name brand.

I have bought couplings off of ebay. They are just as good as the ones I have bought from performance shops, and less expensive, too.

Don't know how price competitive they are but they are very nice people to deal with.

But I think they are pretty good in pricing. Sizes they carry cater to the dsm crowd but in general their selection is decent

www.diamondstarmotorsport.com has a pretty good selection of sizes and colors, I believe they are Turbonetics branded.

www.slowboyracing.com also has a decent selection.

for the supercharger piping are you guys using 2.5", or 3" couplings? I need to check when I get home. Also what about going to a Pathfinder TB 70mm. THanks for any help....and thanks for the links so far.

2.5" couplers

2.75" t-bolts (thank you NAPA)

the blower outlet is 2.75->2.5 adapter

the piping to maf and back is 2.5->3.0

I my piping to tb is 2.5->2.75, but i would have to check (and i have the oem tb too.)

I am not replacing the one coming off the blower. But as for the others two you are saying:

2.5"-->3" for the MAF to pipe
and then

2.5"---> what ever size the PF TB is

correct?

Haha - I was jsut aobut to say www.turbopiping.com

But looking closer - it's the same thing as www.atpturbo.com



Just had several couplers and 3 2ft long 3" Pipes sent to me. Fast shipping, good stuff.

Now I realize I should have probably bought 2.5" piping - easier to work with....but whatever - I'll manage.

Are you saying you'd recomend 2.5" over 3"? I'd like your opinion cause either way will work for me. Although couplings for the 2.5 are cheaper.
