Anyone ever make their own silicion rubber couplers?? Is it even possible to do in your home garage??

 

Basically all of my intercooler hoses are silicone hose that is designed for water-cooled boat exhaust. Instead of using aluminum pipes with silicone couplers, I use silicone pipes with aluminum couplers. Has a lot more give and a lot less rattle than metal pipes.

It would be nice to be able to make 1-piece silicone hoses, but unfortunately the process involves an autoclave, which not many people have.

That's what I'm after... A custom intake to my turbo. I've got some crap space, and a rigid tube won't do it and the thickness of the regular coupler is too much.

Thanks for all the input guys.

Yeah, I just read through it. It looks simple enough (messy though)...

If you have a chance, AbitAvenger, would you take a couple pix???
