Where to get quality rubber (IC, intake, etc.) pipe couplings in black???
Please point me out to websites, shops, Home Depot whatever. I want to replace the ugly blue ones that came with my DRAG kit.
Thanks in advance,
John

You should be able to get them from http://www.force-efi.com
Er, maybe they only come in blue there. Turbonetics might have black. Also try

I used some radiator hose for the 1st intake pipe right off the turbo. I was usuing those soft rubber couplers from Home Depot at first, went through about 4 of them beforeI realized that the temp and force of the air was why they were shredding on me. Haven't had a single problem since the radiator hose
BTW for the rest of the setup, Home Depot couples work fine

NO, no, no. I was told by a reputable shop to goto a Diesal truck repair shop. They have nice strong thick hose for truck applications. Way thicker than the orange (thinnest) or blue silicon hoses. I have yet to go to one of those shops, but I saw the piping and its nice. Best of all it comes in BLACK. Its sold in lengths, so it should be cheaper. Also your not gonna get raped by a performance shop.

Yeah, I used the universal hose also, the piping feels tighter and solid so to speak, expensive though, also while you are at it, upgrade those clamps to the heavy duty ones, The ones that came with my kit were the standard, and I went through half of those before the car was ever started.

Bingo on the Diesel Shop. They sell the real deal silicone poo poo at length. It's not cheap though...about $13 a foot. Diesel Shops own joO.

Re: Where to get quality rubber (Suprdave)
That's nothing... I used a 2.25" 90 degree from turbonetics on the outlet of my turbo... That one part cost me nearly $60, and it's getting eaten up byt hte radiator fins I hope it doesn't blow out... I think I'll pull it off and coat it in duct tape so it'll have a pillow to keep the actual silicone form getting torn up anymore...
