Anyone with a CRT elbow come in.

I am going to pick one up and was wondering, does the kit come with those ugly orange reddish coupler sleeves? I know in the pic on ebay they are that color but sometimes things change. If so where can you buy rubber sleeve couplers in black?

You can just go buy black rubber couplers at Home Depot or Lowe's.

i don't think i've seen any there that would be near flexible or thin enough to make the tb-elbow connection. my coupler from my k&n-maf is one of those and its a good 1/2" thick. the couplers with the crt elbow are maybe an 1/8"

You'd be surprised how many people on here ask how much hp an elbow will give them.

Yeah I know. If that was me it would have been asked in the first post lol. I know it is not for performance but my stock is ripped and its not to pleasing to look at to begin with plus I want to get rid of the donkey dong as I am starting to pull usless stuff from the car. So it all kind of comes together.
