Default where can I get a Silicone Coupler??

I've ordered my 90/90 set-up and don't want some shitty looking piece of rubber from Home Depot to connect it. I'll be going from the 85mm maf to the 90mm nick williams throttle body.

Where can I find these couplers for my intake? I want a coupler like the ones used with turbo kit pipe routing and intercooler routing. If someone could point me in the correct direction and possibly give me a size that I need, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks guys,

Dustin

That's where i bought all my stuff for the powerpipe i had on my mustang. Although they are rubber, was the cheapest and nearly the only place i could find 4" metal piping though.

There's some silicone connectors but i'm not sure if they have the size you need and everything. I'm sure if you called them they could get you the part though.

Yeah any good motor shop tuner should be able to supply some silicon hose. Jst get the diameter you need and cut it too lenght, should be really cheap also.

This is a UK company: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/produc...B456&x=26&y=16

But I can't beleive you can't get something similar in the States.

This is where I got mine for a stock set-up. They have all different sizes and colors but if you don't see exactly what you are looking for, give them a call.

I used the SLP smooth bellows to connect a NW 90 TB to an SLP 85 MAF...it only needed a little length trimming...

I posted a similar question yesterday & Nick Williams responded to it. He said the TB is only .05 bigger on the OD, so the SLP Bellows will fit.

3.50" = 88.90mm
3.62" = 92.08mm

If you need the 3.62" StylinMotors has them but If I remember correctly you have to order over the phone for that size.
