try emailing Ben@importparts.com, he is a super cool guy and can get anything you need, tell him you are a member here and you get a 10% discount. You just cant beat that.

I got the ones from viren and they could never hold crap under boost. In a nice way, they were ***. I ended up selling them and getting some from turbonetics.

And just remember http://www.thermalflex.com makes both the silicone couplers and clamps for turbonetics. Dont tell anyone because thats supposed to be a secret.

I went with turbonetics. Man o man, $70.00 for a 90 degree turn in 2" and $22.00 for a reducer. It's good stuff though.

that isnot true.. if u compare the quality Thermal Flex is 3-4 times the quality of turbonetics crap.

i sell both.. but 9 times out of 10 i try to ship Thermal Flex stuff..

if i am wrong and thermal flex does make turbonetics's stuff.. they want to keep it a secret cause the stuff they sell to turbonetics is junk
