I went ahead and ordered me 2 couplers and some clamps from them . These will be replacing my dryer duct hose that I currently have for a temp mod until they get here.

They are the same quality as many types found on Ebay. They can be found for much cheaper too

I wouldn't say that, they are easily twice as good looking as the couplers I got with my ebay piping. The ebay ones were thin and only 3 ply (3 layers of support) where as the two pieces I got from silicone intakes are thick and 4 layers of support.

Granted they may not be the cheapest, but they weren't extremely expensive and seem to be of good quality.

I've used there silicone couplers and clamps on half a dozen kits. Good quality and great price. The clamps seem to hold up really well (some are over 4 years old). Service is fine but I've always ordered them online.
