Silicone Couplers

[Shadowfax]

I picked up a used DN Performance intake tube on e-bay awhile back - just the tube - no couplers or clamps with it. So, I'm lookin' for some silicone couplers. One 3" to 3.25" ID and the other one 3.5" to 3.75" ID, preferably red. Has anybody got some or know where to get them? Thanks.

I did order some online from Extreme Motorsports, but it's been a month and not a peep out of those guys yet. :mad:

Ive been looking all over for some of these too.

All i could find were 3-3.5 and 3.5-4... did you actually order those sizes you are looking for from Extreme? I didnt think they made them.

Sounds like someone has an LS1 MAF ;)

I can get them.. but I would have to buy a certain quantity. I'll let you guys know when I got more info. I might only be able to get black or blue though.

The ones I ordered from Extreme were a 3" and a 3.5" - both just straight couplers, they're not reducers.

I don't need reducers, just straight couplers. I'm pretty sure the throttle body side needs a 3" ID coupler, the MAS side needs at least a 3.5" ID, maybe even a 3.75" or a 4" because of the eliptical shape.

Someday I'll find these elusive things and finally get the shiny intake tube put in.

These guys are Canadian and a friend of mine has their FMIC kit - very well made. Just a thought:

Oh, i thought you meant reducers when you said "One 3" to 3.25" ID and the other one 3.5" to 3.75" ID"

Actually the throttlebody is smaller than 3". Go for a 2.75".

I still dont get what you are doing? you need couplers for the stock MAS?

Edit: go to Home Depot and check thier plumbing section. They have alot or rubber pipe couplers. they have straight 3" for sure. Maybe 3.5" too. Under 10 bucks each

Here's what I'm doing Fast Eddie. I'm replacing the stock rubber intake hose between the MAF and the throttle body with a steel one like in the attached pic. But all I have is the pipe, no couplers.

I'll check out Home Depot - thanks for the lead.

Ahhh, i see. i always seem to forget you are N/A...

Yup, I know the place. Its on Dixie right by the 401, I used to work near there. I'd check for you if I still did, but I'm rarely in the neighborhood now.

[SpeedFreakSteve]

Does anyone still need some silicone couplers? I now have a supplier for them and was gonna add them to my website.

I can get dull red ones. I can look into shiny.

[Fast Eddie]

Nice.
Can you list the sizes you can get? Straight, reducing, bends?

Now we need to see if anyone can find a source for those nice T-bolt clamps instead of the worm-gear ones... (You can consider that a personal challenge to test your manhood, Mr. parts guy ;) )

Princess Auto must sell those I'm sure.

I'm waiting on an updated list from my supplier for those.

[Fast Eddie]

Good idea.
I found them here at Princess Auto, but the biggest they go is 2.87"

3" are probably bigger than most hydraulic systems use, so they dont carry them. :(

I could probably get 3" ones from a plumbing supply place that my dad uses. I'll check into it.

T-clamps are solid...i got a few of those worm clamps from crappy tire and i already broke 4 of them :(
