www.boostcontrollers.com has a lot of silicone couplers available. I know MAP has Vibrant couplers at decent prices too.

I bought 2 long leg couplers off ebay awhile back for a decent price, and they've lasted without any issue at 35psi.

I still have one, but the legs are slightly cut down. It's black. If you're interested I could maybe sell you the 1 I still have if you wanted.

I'll try to find where I bought them on ebay though and let you know if i find them.

BTW mine is 2.5", what size do you need?


Edit:
Pretty sure these are the ones I bought. Black 90deg with long leg lengths:
2.5"

or if you needed 2.25"

And these are also reasonably priced:

That's still almost $100 for just 2 couplers. Am I the only one that thinks thats a ridiculous price? I wouldn't mind paying that much if I was doing an all out build on my talon that would see 30+psi, but this is for my colt and I'm just doing a budget build. It will see like 10psi max..

Cool, let me know. The cheapest I found on ebay was 32 a piece. Plus 14 for shipping. Which is just as expensive as name brand couplers.
