Default Blue silicon couplings for piping?

I am getting ready to buy the blue silicon coupling pieces to put together the piping for my blower. If I am using 3 inch pipe, do I need the 3 inch size of the blue stuff, or do i need to go a lil bigger so it will fit over. Also, is there anywhere I can buy this stuff at a good price?The place I called said $51 for 90 deg. elbow

Silicone is sized according to I.D.; inner diameter. If you order silicone for 3" it will go over 3" pipe.
What kind of 90 deg elbow do you need?
