Silicone boot to TPI throttle body
Anybody know of a lower price than the ones at Summit/Jegs? I'm ready to build my own & that is the only piece standing in my way of building it.

Or you can pay $2 or less. Sure they won't be shiny nor will they say "specter" on them, but the plumbing ones work well and still look ok.

not knocking the home grown intakes man. he just asked for info and we both gave him options. regardless of which way you go just make sure its a 4" to 3.5" coupler.

Re: Silicone boot to TPI throttle body
Thanks guys.
I looked online at Home Depot/Lowes & couldn't find the silicone coupler. Maybe just not Online, I just haven't been near one of those this week. I'll look when I can & compare to Autozone. But I'm not looking for "pretty". I could care less if it says Spectre or Fernco. I can find straight couplers, just no 90 degree ones.

Re: Silicone boot to TPI throttle body
the fernco ones would prolly be more durable. the autozone one i had to oval the pipe going to the tb to make it flow and fit better. you may have to go down to lowes/ home depot and talk to a sales rep. they are always helpful and they'll point you in the right direction.
