What type of couplers ply would I need 3 ply or 4 ply....... to my understanding 4 is greater than 3 of course, 4 ply will be stronger and it looks like on the site is says 500F meaning it is usable under the conditions of 500 degrees?

yes. but i think 3ply would be fine but if you want you can do 4ply for that extra insurance. i dont think the air inside the IC pipes get past 500

You can buy after market silicone couplers made specifically for the FC from Samco or OBX.
