Hey all

I just got a UICP that did not come with the correct couplers. The stock size is too small and will not fit over the HKS UICP. Does anyone know where I can find the top and lower couplers that fit over the UICP? I am looking for a cheap replacement piece. Any suggestions would help a lot! Thanks.

So you need silicone hose, Ok well first you need to measure the pipe to see what size hose. Try looking for a samco kit, they aren't cheap but they are Very quaility. You can find cheap but sometimes the hoes bumbles or even splits.

 

Yeah I was looking at the Samco ones but there really expensive! The car has very small amounts of mods and if the quality matches the stock peice than that would work as well.

 

The stock peices have a special firber glass wraping to keep them from expanting too far. But the Samco hoses are quaility, no matter what you pay alot for silicone hosing so you might as well just get the best, thats my opinion. There are other companies but your gonna have to look around.

 

Do you know of a website that sells them?

Could I use a reducing coupler to fit the smaller end over the stock coupler and the bigger side to fit in the UICP? Would that affect performance at all?

i got all mine from there, super fast service and great quality. Nisei uses them as their supplier

 

lancershop also carries slicone couplers now

 

If you have a NAPA close by take the pipe there. They have straight transitions only with no hump/flex.
They sell it by the foot so you only have to buy what you need.
It is silicone hose but its black.

 

I have about 3ft of straight and 8 or so hump hoses (various sizes). If you want some, let me know. Measure the pipe first.
