Default Need rubber connectors

I am looking for a couple 4" ID connectors as used to hook supercharger discharge pipe to Mass air, etc. Trying to build a ram air system from scratch and can't find a source for these. I called Vortech and they were absolute idiots!! Any body know where I can call up and order some?

Well, A Fernco would proabably be the cheapest and quickest, but go here www.hosetechniques.com The ones you needs are like $26 each with the mack-daddy SS T-Bolt clamps. In Red or Black. That is exactly what they are for too!!

I just bought a 3' section of the 4" hose like vortech uses. I had hell finding it, and ended up finding a local company that could get it, but I had to buy 3'. I only need about 1' so I could sell you some of it if you want. It will be about $25 per foot + a little shipping.

good luck! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

L-Eeater, check your mail. I got screwed around on the 4" hose and I don't have it. I'll be returning your money order ASAP.

I will be getting the hose by May 12th, but I suppose you don't want to wait that long.

Hell, I'll give you a foot of the stuff when I get it, I didn't mean to yank your chain.

sorry.
