They work good one low boost. stronger clamps help.

Or you could weld a bead around the ends of the pipes for the HMT bead roll effect.

As stated they are in the plumbing section .. I tried them once and blew a hole in one as soon as I hit boost.

I just go to napa and get a foot of 2.5" ID radiator hose. It's like 13$ a foot but You can get 3 couplers out of it.

Fuel filler hose is much thicker and is the same price is I remember correctly. ;)
