You should really consider buying silicone couplers on ebay. In some cases it would be cheaper. I'd give you a few weeks and those home depot couplers would balloon and some cases slips off. I guess either way it did the job done. Just think long term. GL..!

+1. Give it 5 minutes. I have seen a build on the DSM forums where I guy went the Home Depot route and those couplings and they just split from the pressure and heat on one test run.

Theyll be fine for low boost on the short term. I using 2 of them since its what I had at the time. No leaks, splits, or cracks at 10psi. I did weld a bead on the pipes though.

Hows the ebay cast mani treatin ya? Probably gonna switch out the cx mani for one here soon.

Do those couplers expand when you hit boost?
