Default For those of you looking for intercooler pipe couplings....

Go to Napa or any other real "auto parts" store or a big rig parts store if one is near by.Dont try this at "Rice boys(pep boys)" or "Rice Zone(auto zone)" couse theyll just give you a confused blank stare .


Ask for "fuel fill hose" or "straight hose" in what ever size you need from 2" up to 3".Its used on big trucks(dump trucks,water trucks ect.) to go from the gas filler to the gas tank.It is rated to temperatures up to 200 degrees and is nylon belted.The price....I got 3" for 20 bucks a foot.I figure I can get at least 4 couplings from one foot.Its way better quality than those cheap Home Chepot abs/cast pipe couplings that dry up and crack.

Hope this helps some of you out

I wouldnt use radiator hose.Its too thin.Kinda like the home chepo couplings.Especially radiator hose from the jukn yard.If you want used couplers rape a Volvo or something that is factory turboed.
