His add...

"I thought it was ridiculous to see fellow F-Body enthusiasts getting ripped off and paying companies $50-$80 for similar pieces!!!

SO, this time when I bought one for my new car I bought a case of them to lower the per unit price."



What a tool!

No one else spent the $ to manufacure one in that shape so SLP can and will sell it for what they please. Its really not that high for a quailty puracil(turbohose) coupler formed perfectly for its intended purpose. You wont find one anywhere else.

I took off my cheap smooth bellows b/c it wasn't letting my lid seal up good on the pass side.Back to the stocker.

I've been seeing this and the cags lately on my ebay browsing.

There was a company selling one that would fit the fbody for olike 15 bucks that had the hump etc, it was blue aswell, same charge pipe coupler stuff too... wish i had the link.....
it was an actually decent piece. the fernco is just that, a toilet part, or IMO a piece of ****. My lid never stayed nsapped on the pass. side...
