I dont know if anyone else on here has done this but...I when I installed my Vortech a couple weeks ago I wasn't too pleased with the quality of the couplers and hose clamps that Vortech included. I also wasn't too crazy about the couplers being blue. I know it sounds gay that im bitching about the color of the couplers but I like my engine bay to look good you know, not some random blue shit scattered through out my engine bay. Anyways moving on, I have always liked t-bolt clamps more than regular hoses clamps so I checked out a site called http://www.siliconeintakes.com/, and ordered the following parts:
2 x 4.0" Silicone Straight Coupler, Black (SIL000437) = $19.98
1 x 4.5" Silicone Straight Coupler, Black (SIL000353) = $9.99
1 x Silicone Reducer, 4.0" to 3.5" - Black (SIL000539) = $12.99
1 x T-Bolt Clamp for 2.75" Silicone Parts (CLA000103) = $2.60
1 x T-Bolt Clamp for 3.0" Silicone Parts (CLA000104) = $2.60
1 x T-Bolt Clamp for 3.5" Silicone Parts (CLA000105) = $2.60
1 x Silicone Reducer, 3.0" to 2.75" - Black (SIL000066) = $11.99
5 x T-Bolt Clamp for 4.0" Silicone Parts (CLA000310) = $13.00
2 x T-Bolt Clamp for 4.5" Silicone Parts (CLA000382) = $5.20
------------------------------------------------------
Sub-Total: $80.95
Standard Domestic Shipping/Handling (USPS Priority Mail: 2-3 days): $13.99
Total: $94.94
Im hoping it will give the engine bay a smoother look and ofcourse I will sleep better at night knowing all of my intake and discharge tubes are properly sealed
