Default Alternative to Couplings/Reducers
Ok got a slight problem. Shooting to be boosted by this weekend. Been to every home improvement store in the area, and every performance/turbo shop. No one carries anything in 2.5". I need 2 - 2.5" and 2.5 - 2.5" reducers/couplings. Anythingelse I could use/rig? Also what side is the TB 2" im assuming?

If I use the exhaust reducers what should I use for a coupler (to reduce chance of leak etc.) No one carries 2.5 around here

weird your hardware stores don't have them.. sometimes they sell out and re-stock.

..and heck yeah, radiator hoses are my savior in the turbo world.
