Default embarassed to ask this, but: couplers?

i know i know, its sad. but i really dont know where to look for ic piping couplers. autozone didnt have anything. went to home depot and they had some plumbing-type couplers but i doubt they could handle the heat (plus they didnt have the right size). i dont want to have to order them online because i need them soon (cant wait for shipping). there has to be a quick place to go for these. i mean they are only little silicone hoses.

thanks

What sizes are you looking for and any particular color? Brian just ordered a crapload of couplers from Vibrant for his car and we have alot extra.

What size do you need? Any reducers? I've gone to Napa and asked them for some heater hose ment for trucks and what not. It's pretty cheap, and works well. Thick as hell too.

that's sad atpturbo.com has good service. but they're kinda spendy. i know there's HT sponsers that sell them. check the sponser classifieds and ask the ppl who sell IC piping.

$4/each for 2.25" 4-ply silicone couplers, $3/each for t-bolt clamps to go on them:

I've bought from this guy before and haven't had any problems with him.

I use them alot. They are in socal in the Santa Fe Springs/Norwalk area and you can drop in a pick up all the hose/couplings/t-bolt clamps you need.

Pretty cool DSM guys.
