Best price on Silicone Couplers/Transitions?

Hey.

Man, these things can get expensive quick :P

ATPTurbo has them, Overboost has them. Do any other online dealers sell silicone couplers and/or transitions? Who's got the best deal?

try ebay, there are different qualities, reinforced/not I would use the ATP parts as a guide to what you want.

I second the Ebay search... I haven't really priced out all the different options but there seems to be 3 or 4 sellers on Ebay that I find in a lot of my searches that have good feedback. Prices seem reasonable to me -- and several of them have EBay stores where you can pick them up all the time.

Watch out, I think some of the eBay stuff is not reinforced silicone hose.
A lot of the more expensive stuff (around $30) are usually fiberglass reinforced 2-ply (or more) silicone hoses.

Straight section pieces, I don't think you can beat Turbonetics.

Try Baker, buy it by the foot and cut to your desired length:

try high temp silicones on ebay, he uses nomex enforced silicone, i think 3-ply. Seems to be pretty good prices too. I bought some vac. hose from him and the customer service couldn't have been better.
