Home Depot couplers
 
What are they actually called at the store or where are they located at? I tried searching on their site but it just comes up like fittings lol. Also would they have 3in ones?

They'r a waste of time unless ur running 3psi...lol If you run t-boltclamps on them they might work up to 6psi. Either way they suck and you might as well get silicone couplers. Do you have an aeroquip dealer near you or any type of industrial fittings store. Thats where I buy mine by the foot for cheap ass prices

I don't think they're that bad. Just clamp the ---- out of it and make sure it's not sitting half an inch away from your manifold.

they work fine. they are in the plumbing section. use them for bends clamp them good and tight and you wont ever have a problem. i ran mine of 15 psi for ever and never blew on off they work great. there like 3 dollars a peice but there in the plumbin section at lowes and home depot. if they dont work on ur set up bring em back and get something else but its better than buyin a 200 dollar ic pipe kit this is hmt turbo guys make that ---- work
