Default Local stores that carry Silicone Reducers....

Ive called like half the stores in the Chicago area, and most people don't even know what a silicone reducer is. I need a couple 2.5->2.25 silicone reducers.... are there any auto parts chains that carry them?
Thanks,
-Will

well I can give ya a temporary solution if you want to get your setup done.
Home depot sells fernco couplings(not silicone) in various sizes in the plumbing section I've been running those for the past two weeks and havent had any problems accociated with them. In the meantime you can go order some silicone ones from an online source such as roadrace engineering.

Will, Im also using turbohose.com products. Good stuff. Order what you need and ship two day air. Best of all you can get them in black.

My "temporary" radiator hose couplings have been working great for over year now . They fit tighter than the real silicone couplings I have and are 20 times cheaper.
