Where to buy 2.5" silicone hose connectors?
 
Ok, I've looked everywhere you'll probably tell me, so far, Napa, way expensive for a 1ft tube,like $26(doesn't include clamps @ $1.09 a piece) :-\ Autozone, only come in Yellow for 2.5", yuck, and I had them check all their radiator hoses, nothing bigger than 2"....performance $11! ::) homedepot and lowes, doesn't have them in 2.5 inch only 2" and 3", ebay they are like $5 a piece then you have to buy clamps, so ebay is the cheapest yet, but is that a normal price, like $7 for each connector and clamps?

I know... I didn't want to pay that much either but the local shops around here blow... I go in asking for mandrel bent exhaust tubing and look at me like I was asking them to explain the theory of relativity or recite some shakespere.

"Now boy... What do you need mandrel bent tubin' fer?"

I tried Ebay too but there's nothing on there, especially reducers--unless I was using bad search words. :P

yeah, if you don't put 'jdm', 'hks', 'greddy', or 'fast and furiouus' you usually don't get anything back from searches on egay. good find on those couplers though ;)

you guys can always get your stuff from http://www.roadraceengineering.com/hoseandclamps.htm

I will admit the silicone stuff are a tad bit expensive but they have everything you need. Also, if you are low on budget you MIGHT wanna check out the OBX reducers on ebay. I dont trust them so thats why I went with the stuff from road race engineering. Good quality stuff, but definately NOT the cheapest around.

Also high temp silicone hosing arent all that cheap to begin with.

most dsm stores have silicone hose : road race , slowboy or extreme. extreme is 10 mins from me so i just go in to the store and pick it up if i need something. but its way more than slowboy or road race pricing if oyu want to wait for shipping .
