    Default Custom Silicone hose, need help

    Here is the deal.

    I have greedy fmci we welded the elbow on the fmic to cut down on the coupler and clamps, also to prevent cutting the coupler do to trans cooler resing aginst them. I then had a custom 4" intercooler pipe made to feed the intake manifold. The problem is now that the car is all back together my measurements where off about half inch. No big deal but its off in the transaction from the 3 inch to the 4 inch which makes it off a inch and half! So i need to fix this problem is a 4inch to 3 inch reducer. www.samcosport.com makes one that 152mm long with i think is 5.9 inches. I have one now but it is only 3 inches total leangth which will work to limp home. What i need is one that is 4 inches on each side of the reducer. So it would be 4 inches Reducer then 4 inches. This way i can run 2 or 3 T bolt clamps on each pipe and be done with the high boost blow off problems. My only other options is to pull the lights, bumper, trans coolers, fmic, and manifold. remeasure and then send out to have the FMCI and IC pipe cut and rewelded then sent back to paint and have it all repainted which will be a huge pain the ass.

    This is what samco sales, i just need it about 6 to 8 inches longer!

    And help would be grate.

    Thanks
    Shawn.

    i hate to say this but pipe is cheap and reducers or couplers are friggin expensive, i would extend the pipe.

    what he said^


    oh, and you shouldn't have to run 3 clamps on each end if you just bead the pipes so they can't slide off .
