they're just local shops.. i dont think they have any online stuff. but if you're ordering into the states, USPS charges $5 handling + tax. UPS will charge an exorbitant amount of brokerage + handling and everything, and fedex charges no hidden fees, but the initial shipping fee is higher. at least thats what i've found ordering things from the US

I can get "silicone" 3" connecters here for $9 or so too. would I use them on IC piping? hell no. the turbonectics and other real ones are fiberglass reniforced and way stronger. those cheap ones would probbaly blow out with boost LOL.. I used those on my intake piping.
