For under 10 psi.....uhhh try Lowes home improvement

Seriously, dont spend 100+ on silicone couplings on a car that wont be boosted past 10. Buy cheap rubber connectors, then save up and replace the clamps with some T-Clamps (buy a couple at a time). Then get your car built to boost past 10psi then buy your silicone couplings

Homeboy Depot couplers work fine. They're cheap as dirt and easy to come by. If you want to be a baller, www.bakerprecision.com

I've got 2.5 inch pipes, will the 3" couplers clamp down good enough on them?

i got two inch radiator hose, about a foot and a half for 10 bucks, i also got some 2.5, but it was 15 bucks a foot, that ---- is thick as hell though and i would use it over silicon couplers.

I used radiator hose for one side, turbo to FMIC, and homedepot for the other side, fmic to TB, the radiator hoses look great and work great. The Home depot couplings keep poping out and don't seal too good.

I used 2" couplings on my 2.25 inch pipe. I don't think it seals too good. I would not try the 3 inch, way too big and won't work.
