Silicone couplers?

This is probably an easy question to answer, but I just have no idea. Where could I buy a silicone coupler? Would it be just as simple as going down to my local auto zone, or an actual tuning shop, or would one have to order these online?

Cobb, Alamo, or EvoDynamics probably have some in stock, otherwise any numerous online retailers can get them. I just got a few in the mail yesterday that I ordered from MAP.

I know I've seen generic ones at PepBoys & Autozone, but I don't know if I would trust the quality, maybe for emergencies only. I've seen more than a few references to www.siliconeintakes.com on the rest of the board. And then there's also the stickied FS thread.

What size do you need? We don't stock many here but I can have them shipped overnight directly to you for the same price as ground.

There is a shop in addison called TopSpeed where I got mine from. You can also get some other Evo stuff like O2 housing, coilovers, strut tower brace, radiator etc.

Cheap too since they are a wholesaler.

Just curious myself here. So would most of the places above be able to find/have a silicone coupler like the one connected to my BOV assuming I give them the exact measurements of it? I am wanting to get an extra straight coupler like the one in picture below because I will most likely have to modify it for the Synchronic I want to put in, but I would like to have a replacement if I screw it up or have to put the stock BOV back on for whatever reason.

Yes. At least the place I went did. I found out that Alamo autosports is literally 5 mins from my dorm. Didn't seem like a great shop, but they had what I needed, and can cut it to the length you need.
