i needed to buy a 90 degree 2.5" coupler, anybody have one for sale or know where i can get one for cheap. all the places i have looked are selling them for way too much.
thanks
 
I bought mine from these guys(SILICONE INTAKE SYSTEMS 719-388-1623) for $21. They have a web site and a EBAY store. It was cheaper to call them than to go through EBAY.

That guy is local to me, I bought a 90 degree coupler from him. It is very good quality, 4 layers and pretty thick. It didnt have long legs though.

I've always gone thru /recommended Verocious Motorsports. They carry all HighTempSilicone products (not that crappy stuff you find sold for cheep) at very good prices. The HTS bends also have very long "legs" which gives you more options :thumb: :dsm:


You will be surprised of the price these guys pay for these products. I had some underdrive pulley made a couple of years back I took a high dollar pulley that everone one the 3SI board was buying at the time for $250 and took it to a Production machine shop. It cost me almost $300 for the proto-type, but only $30 ea for 25 more. Do the math the more you buy the cheaper the price

So price is everything :notgood:
I've seen some pretty crappy "silicone" couplers sold on e-bay and DSM vendors. Their "4-ply" is seriously less than half the thickness of the HTS equivelants. If you're boosting 14psi, then go for it. But 20psi+ and those will balloon up and work their way off the piping not to mention the heat will soften the silicone (or whatever that crap is they use) layers. Believe me, I know I had these "cheep" versions on my car and they were crap.

I ended up replacing all my couplers with HTS and have never had a problem since.

Not to say everything else is crap, just that in my experience with silicone couplers, you get what you pay for.
 
Silcon Intakes coupler works great. It is not a crap coupler.

I was running 26 psi daily and have had no issues.
My boost controller failed the other day and I hit 30+ psi a couple times and had no issues.

I'm even running the 24x12x3 intercooler from him. Zero issues. Not to mention better then the ones shown in the Ebay intercooler thread.

Where did I say it was :confused:

My point was that there are crappy couplers out there on eBay, some of which I'd purchased myself, which turned out to be crap.

So are you saying HTS is crap? No, nor do I accuse you of such.
So guess we both have our own opinions on our own experiences so lets just leave it at that ;) :dsm:
 
I run 2 eBay silicone couplers and have boosted around 28psi with no problems at all. I got them from SiliconeIntakes.com on eBay for about $18 and had them within 3 days.
 
HTS for me also and my current 2.5" 90* not yet installed has such long legs I will most likely have 2x3" couplers when I cut it to the needed size! Great quality. I'm sure there are others that are good also. I have just had such good experiences with HTS that I have stayed with them. mark
