Ebay silicone couplers, experiences?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mitsu...Q5fAccessories

Anyone using these? They look pretty good and fairly thick. I'm having a hard time shelling out $300 for the Samco ones. Plus I don't want to go to a full pipe kit. (I have my reasons)

Thanks guys

I would stick with the stock ones as there is no reason not to. I know plenty of people running 30psi on the stock hardware with just the addition of tbolt clamps.

If you want to upgrade your couplers or to T-bolt clamps go to siliconeintakes.com. I ordered a lot of things from them in the past.

I have ebay couplers, just make sure you get 4ply. Tested them up to 40psi with no problems, they didnt even start to swell up.

+1

Make sure they aren't just rubber ones like what Greddy and HKS offer with their intercooler kits. I blew my old Greddy coupler apart on 28psi and the stock turbo
