Default Need straight silicone 4"... anyone? Sponsors?
I remember a while back no sponsors had silicone and we had to go other places. Wondering now if any sponsors carry any and have any in stock?

I am in need of a piece to connect my APS intercooler to my TB. So i guess i need some 4"... straight, 8" long. Also 2 4" long pieces will work with a small piece of 4" alum tubing to connect it. Let me know if anyone has any laying around or if any of you sponsors have this in stock. Thanks!

The search feature turned up numerous places within the first couple of threads just using silicon in the FI section......

We've been happy with siliconestop.com for the odds/ends needs we've had on FI builds here.

Is the MAF sensor 3.5"? If so the APS kit goes from 4" IC to 3.5" MAF then 3.5" MAF to 4" TB? Is that how it works?

I like turbohoses - they seem to be the same construction as the Turbonetics hoses but for less $$$.
