What are some things that I might be able to get locally that I can use as long couplers for 2.5" charge pipes? I was gonna look for rad hose but found nothing that big. My buddy has got this intake on his Integra that looks to be make of this rubber tubing that looks perfect but we got no idea what it is. Anyone?

WTF

not exactly cheap though, at least at my napa. they want like 60 or 80 $ for a 3ft section and they dont cut it

Rad. hose works good, I use it for coupplers and even works good for a 90 deg. bend. a little spermatex and I've never had a prob with it blowing off, even with a few 16 psi boost spikes.

do you tell them silicone hose or truck radiator hose? they are super different especially in price.

try asking for 2.5" ID truck rad hose at my napa its around $15-16 a foot but well worth it. thats what ive used on all 3 of my setups no problems.

Minor Threat

Rad hose, I've gotten 5 feet at 50 bucks or so. It works out to cheaper than buying Vibrant couplers. Just ask to look at their catalog.

Or if your boosting low (say 8psi or lower) use the pvc couplers at Lowes and Menards. Just make sure they arent next to intense heat.

I went to the local ruber factory(small rubber maker). They make all kind of small parts from rubber. He made ne couplers for 5$ per item and when I used the same size I made 100cm for 10$ rubber tube and made it my self.
