Which is a better coupler?
I just wanted to ask I want to know which is better Samco or Variant?

I just recently bought some intercooler pipes and I need new couplers. What do most people run?

They are pretty much all the same as long as there 3 ply. Alot of those places get them from the same place and just distribute them out.

im pretty sure the couplers that come off the intercooler are all straight... only the piping uses angled pipes. dont take my word for that though.

as for which ones... any 3- or even 4-ply couple will do the job for a stocker. i just bought some off amazon from the cheapest guy i could find. a lot of people hate going with cheap stuff on their cars on here but a 3 ply coupler is a 3 ply coupler.

Exactly, there is almost a 100 percent chance that it is made in the same place.
