Default silicone couplers....what size?

I'm looking at atpturbo.com and I see 2.5" coupler size and 2.75". Outside diameter on my piping is going to be 2.5....so does anyone know if the size of the coupler is inside diameter or outside diameter?
----------------------------------------
From atpturbo.com:
2.75" T-Bolt Clamp. For 2.5" pipe connections to compensate for silicone connector.
----------------------------------------

makes me wonder about which size i need...
I'm trying to order by tonight....thats why i'm posting here...TIA

just wondering where you bought them....from the same place?

I don't know if everyone holds the same standards as far as sizes...

lets say you have 2.5" piping......if you get 2.5" coupler and its a little smaller of bigger, i think you can stretch it out a little or use the t-bolt clamps to tighten it around the piping would that be ok?

pipe=2.5=silcon

better to be a little small than big.

i bought from them and i was probably 1/4" too small and i could still get it around the IM.

Buy the silicon coupler size that matches your IC piping. 2.5 IC pipe-2.5 coupler. As far as the T-bolts go. Get 1/4 inch larger than the coupler. So 2.5 would need a 2.75 clamp. I learned that the hard way.
