they are like 7.50 at home depot, that isn't cheap and they aren't as nice as hightempsilicone.

Yeah i would, I've had bad experiences with Home Depot connectors. I've had some burst under 8 psi before. Stick with better quality connectors.

Home depot. My old y7 ihi kit uses the home depot coupler and held 1bar fine. Can't say the same for the engine though :-X

The only reason home depot couplers blow is because people leave gaps between their charger pipes. Ive never had any problems with them if used right. I ordered my couplers from steathmode, Couplers look great and steve shiped them super fast :). http://www.---------------------------/puro.shtml

True, If you leave gaps and pressure builds up then it will blow. I feel stupid cause i just thought of that. :-\

The Stealthmode couplers are the best deal for the money. www.---------------------------

We also carry the HighTempSilicone products. We have a set of four 2.5" blue or black couplers for $43 plus shipping. These sets include the proper "liner" clamps, so you don't tear up your hoses.

We also carry the HighTempSilicone transition couplers that go from 2.0" to 2.5".

With the HMT discount, I think your final price is a little cheaper than you can get from HighTempSilicone direct, but don't tell them!
