Hey guys im in need of a coupler for my IC piping to my manifold

Benny they look like rubber hoses?? I think they will flex just like the one ive got??

Not sure if it helps, but this is what i've got on mine ..

yeh no....

bit too small..

this is what u need my friend,

$130 per clamp = Ouch.

Look good though. Had any experiences with them Ramon?

ramon i will pick one up as soon as i get a joiner.. Thats my priority at this stage..


bump for any info..

Tino, i'd imagine a decent quality truck hose would be able to handle the boost

Other otion may be to go to a zorst place and get one end of a 6" length of 3" S/S exhaust tube expanded to suit and then cut it to length required? Not sure on where the bit goes or if it could fit...

That may work with alumiunum.. i cant see why not?? would be better than the siluicone joiner as the metal will be the same diamter..

I wouldn't use steel (aluminum whatever) to join the pipes. The idea of the joiner is to allow for a bit of flex, but not blow up like a balloon.

no not to join the pipe.. but to flange my pipe end to the same diameter so i can use a straight joiner rather than a transition joiner..

Oh ok :D

Tino, show me a pic of what is happening, i might be able to fab you something up.......

all sorted :)

What did you end up doing??

Ducktape works wonders!

Cable-ties Steve... give the man some respect! ;)

Well i ended buying a 3" aly tube and got it flanged to fit the 3 1/8" joiner that i got also. So was going to weld that part onto the IC piping.

Then i got a call from sean who picked up a 3" slightly flexible silcone joiner. So we tried that first and it just went over. ITs very hard and is webbed in side to stop it from flexing..

but when we get a chance late next week well see if it expands...

That will hold for some time yes but i recomend the truck clamps from hoseco and also the hose which will grip!!!
