where to get couplers?
i need a coupler for where the intake pipe meets the throttle body. has to be 3" since ill be using a 3" pipe. the throttle body is a stock gsr throttle body, should i get a reducing coupler? or just clamp down the 3" one? i want it in black as well, and no ghetto pipe couplers from home depot, they are too thick, i need something actually made for this application, lol. umm black is referred as well, colors look gay. i tried tuner toys but they only have 2.5" ones.

just some input..if your using a silicone coupler i'd suggest paying the extra for the nifty clamps that stop the little cuts from cutting into your coupler ..what i'm saying is don't use the home depot ones

the ones from home depot are too big. the thickness is like 1/4" way too thick and just looks ghetto. i know you guys are all about junkyard racing and all that, but i like my engine bay to look clean if i can help it. anyway ive found what i need from LSD.

Re: where to get couplers?
its an air intake? who needs a silicone coupler for no pressur? throw the filter on the throttle body, clamp, done...
or ducktape the bitch with black ducktape. no pressure, why buy a coupler that cost more then ur whole air intake system?

Re: where to get couplers?
ok guys, i dont care what they are made of. im not getting the silicone ones becuse they are silicone. im getting them cause they are the right size. all the couplers that come with cheap intakes are usually colored (ghey) and its hard to find those regular couplers without bying the intake. the couplers and bands together were like 40 shipped. my intake setup (not including the couplers) has cost me 140 bucks already and i dont even have the tube yet. so yea, they dont cost more then my intake setup.
