Default couplers Q's for piping on turbo kit?

What does everyone use? I know i know the best route is to order some from roadraceengineering or something like that...but there has got to be an easier way.

I have heard rubber premade hose chunks in 2" for a 2.5" pipe from lowes comes with to clamps.....?

Radiator hosing for a semi from napa..cut it up..then there ya go.

I am wanting to make this piping from somethign that would be in town so please dont post where have to order it and whatnot...like lowes, napa, menards, advanced..etc. let me know opinons thanks

Don't waste your time with those rubber coupler's from home depot/lowed because most likely they will explode/rip under boost. The napa stuff works, but that stuff is a bitch to cut, also it looks like **** but it works.

Imo quit being a cheap *** and just buy some silicone , ill even tell you were to get it for cheap. $6 per coupler Red/Black/Blue

Do a search on Rubber couplers, Home depot coupler, you knwo the drill and you may come across that thread where memebers posted pic sof thier rubber hoses that exploded underboost.

i just use the stuff from napa...i dont think it looks to bad, its just black coupling. just dont cut it all jagged, then it will look even worst....if your piping is made good you wont really have any visable couplings anyways

road race has the best prices. I bought two feet and cut them myself.

hey, I got one foot left, cut into three pieces, wanna buy them for $10 plus shipping?

edit: home depo style will blow up after 10psi.
