good quality boost tubing?

the tubing is falling apart that i got with my paxton. I'm looking to ditch it all and get some nice tubing that preferably won't pop off on me.

Are there any companies who sell nice boost tubing?

Damn all you have had is problems with that paxton kit!

Boost tubing. Do you mean between the blower and the engine or between the air filter and the blower?

actually i mean couplers. The rubber oval piece that join the metal u to the throttle body, and the rubber cylinder that joins the first u to the second. The ones that you hose clamp down.

I sell many shapes, sizes, colors, and types of both silicone and nitrile hose couplers. I also sell bad-*** 3/4" stainless t-clamps. Many pieces for any budget. You can call me at work to get pricing and to place an order.

GMI has the ticket. My stuff was always blowing apart until I bought new hose and T bolt clamps. It hasn't blown off since.

GMI Fast, i'll call you to order, but the problem is, i don't know exactly what i need to order, sizewise.

http://www.poorformance.net/iroc/enginebay.jpg

i need the rubber tubing/coupling for both ends of the big paxton elbow, and also the one from the little elbow to the blower itself. Does anyone have the sizes of this stuff available, or do i need to go measure it out?

I'd like like to get the t-clamps as well.

Thanks everyone.
