Why the hell are couplers so expensive!?

[4g63tcrazy]

All I need is 2 90* couplers with decently long leg lengths so I can put this front mount on my colt and the cheapest I can find for 2 of them shipped is $86 on ebay.. Is it just me or is that not a f%&kin retarded high price for 2 damn couplers??

on extreme psi i believe they go for 28 bux a piece bro.

[4g63tcrazy]

Those only have 2.5" leg lengths.

[D_Venable]

what size are you looking for, and what leg length.

HoseTechniques has 90° in their py350 from 2-3" all with just over 4" leg length for under $20 each

[4g63tcrazy]

Nevermind they're sold out of 2.25". Go figure..

Sometimes the cheaper the coupler, the softer they are. I like the Extremepsi couplers. Theyre the right amount of hardness for me. Vibrant couplers are even harder but I fild the ID a hair smaller than I like.

The most this system will see might be 10psi. I'm keeping it at wastegate pressure.

i say home depo then

If you needed straight ones I'd send you to O'Reillys. We stock silicone "radiator hoses", aka straight lengths of coupler.

Are you reading anything I'm saying? I need 90* couplers. Yes I know where to get straight ones and for cheap. I'm specifically talking about 90* couplers and how ridiculously expensive they are with at least a decently long leg length.

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"
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-25-...item3efecb2023


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.
