Silicone We stock a complete line of silicone couplers. These are ideal for turbocharged or supercharged vehicles requiring couplers that can handle high boost and high temperatures. The picture below shows some of the items we carry.
Our Silicone Our reinforced couplers, elbows, and large diameter straight pieces are the highest quality silicone products available. Our silicone is 100% silicone, and the reinforcement is a dense fiberglass matting. The high strength and temperature limits (-65F-600F) come from the dense fiberglass matting. This allows for use of a thin coupler with the strength of a much thicker coupler and with much higher temperature limits. Beware of large thick bulky couplers with uneven stitching. These Chinese may products look strong, but they can't handle sustained high temperatures and they are difficult to clamp securely. Our two ply coupler on the right (black) is actually stronger than the 4 ply unit on the left (blue). Our silicone can withstand more boost pressure and higher temperatures. The difference is in the reinforcement. Notice the widely spaced and inconsistant weave in the coupler on the left. With reinfoced couplers, thicker is not always better.
We stock all sizes listed in our tables. We can custom make other sizes as well as thicker couplers for extreme applications like diesel tractor pull vehicles. Email us for a price quote if you need a size you don't see here.
Our elbows have a very tight bend radius and are excellent for use in congested spaces. The 90deg section is extra wide enabling them to flow very well. 90° Elbows Transitions (reducers)
45° Elbow transitions (reducers)

Use hump hoses for connections that will require some movement. A good example is for connections to an intercooler that's attached to the chassis and not the engine. Straight Hose by the foot in most sizes.
Our vacuum hose has thick walls that can withstand hi pressure, make tight bends without collapsing, and has an airtight fit. When sized correctly our vacuum hoses do not require clamps or zip ties, even when on the pressure side of a forced induction system. Vacuum hose should have an airtight fit on the nipple it connects. Use our shopping cart for convenience. SHIPPINGShipping US & Territories via USPS Priority Mail service.
