2.5" silicon hose for intake

Hi guys...

Does anyone know where M2 get's their silicon intake and intercooler couplers?

I think it's made from "Sampo".

I tried Baker precision but they are sold out.
Iwould like to get the same Sampo stuff though.

Thanks jc.

it is "samco" hose and you can get it directly from M2. each 2.5" coupler is about $10. you might be able to pick it up from tripoint engineering too if they have some in stock.

Thumbs up I Got some for SALE!!!

I have some silicone couplers that I got with my M2 intake pipes. One is even notched to clear the airpump nipple. They include the special clamps that you should use with silicone couplers. IM asking $35 total for them. That includes Priority Mail shipping.

You can also get them from www.hosetechniques.com.
Or try samco directly as well, www.samcosport.co.uk/index.asp

www.phase2motortrend.com sells silicone hose too although not sure if it's what you're looking for or not.

They are 2.75", not 2.5". I got some from Baker.

Also, my tip for remembering the difference between silicone and silicon (two totally different substances): Fake ***** are made from siliCONE (get it, cones) and they are soft, so these hoses must be made out of silicone, too. Silicon is hard like glass -- it is what computer chips are made from.

Yep, the couplers are 2.75"

I use Baker Precision's orange turbo hose just as Max does. One foot is about $25 and you can make 4 couplers from that.

I'll sell you 4 M2 couplers for $35, that includes shipping. I got them from M2 about 3 or 4 weeks ago, they are the blue ones and say Samco on them. Sorry no clamps, I reuse them. I replace all of my couplers with a different blue silicone hose (not use what brand), so they all would match.

Is the diameter 2.75 or 2.5".? The measurement in Diameter of the M2 intake pipes are 2.5 though...

Wouldn't 2.75 be a little loose?

yes. 2.5" for the intake system (before the turbos) and 2.75" for after the turbos. i think they were just getting confused.
