Default Where to find silicone intercooler hose?

I need some intercooler hose pieces for my piping. Where is the best place to get it? I need three go from 2.5" OD on one end to 2.0" OD on the other. If you know of a place, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

It's pretty much the same from the looks of it, but pre-cut is my favorite, that stuff is hard to cut straight.

The stuff from bakerprecision though is the heavy duty stuff, with the orange on the inside.

Yeah, I've seen it at home depot. Home depot doesn't have reducer sizes though. Maybe I'll check lowes.

That junk home depot and lowe's has is just rubber, not nitrile or silicone and won't be able to hold up to the heat well. Eventually it'll crack and come apart. I used a couple just for a few months when I first got my turbo on until I had a chance to weld up the pipes.

I figured as much, they look pretty sh!tty.
Does anyone have any 2" OD couplings or 2" OD to 2.25" reducers for sale? The ones in FI classifieds were sold.

I pieced all my couplers together from the following two websites, they are each very pricey but the customer service and quick shipping was really nice.
