45 degree bend 2.75 - 2.25 reducer coupler replacement for i/c pipe!!

The rubber coupler that connects the bottom of my intercooler pipe to my upper (hks i believe) intercooler pipe has torn and i need a replacement.

Im not sure if i meant to measure the inner or outter part of the coupler but according to my inner measurements i need a 45 degree bend 2.75 - 2.25 x 3" reducer coupler . ive looked at various sites including www.siliconehoses.com www.boostcontroller.com www.lancershop.com but so far cannot find any that match ALL those specification ! any help or info on correct sizing or places i can try to source this part would be much appreciated. thanks

thanks guys..i actually found the one i was looking for at: Xo2 Racing 2.25 inch-2.75 inch Silicone Reducer 45 Degree Elbow - (SIL-E22527545).

but does anyone know if those measurements sound correct for the coupler that connects the lower intercooler pipe to the upper hks intercooler pipe? cuz i took my measurements from the inner side of the coupler and not the outter part. however on most sites like silicone hoses they dont offer a 2.25-2.75..closest was 2.50 - 3.00 which is more the measurement for the outer part of the coupler.

I think you're confusing us. Which connection are you actually referring to? The connections go turbo outlet pipe to lower to intercooler to upper to upper part two to possibly upper part 3 or throttle body. There is no direct lower to upper connection...

Go with the outer measurement of the piping (not the bead), or if you have to, the inner diameter of your coupler. I don't have any HKS piping so I'm going by your measurements; will this work?

... and make sure that xo racing one is a reinforced/multi-layered hose because Chinese couplers are known to tear and burst.

HKS part# 1804-SA005 contact an Authorized Mits Dealer. It MSRPs for around 12$

(BTW I'm willing to bet you just bought that intercooler pipe off eBay

I was snoping around for an upper intercooler pipe JUST like the one you mentioned and it was missing the lower portion~
