There are two different couplers on the lower intercooler piping. Which one are you speaking of? The end for the turbo j-pipe or the end for the intercooler?

Reason I ask is because the vary in size...

You should purchase this....

ETS LP2

Great Product!!!

j-pipe end of the intercooler?

the j-pipe is connected to the turbo....

so that would be the turbo end

but i'm guessing you want the intercooler coupler so you can connect the lower intercooler pipe to the intercooler....

i don't know the exact degree....but if i were to guess, it would be a 45 degree bend...

pick yourelse up a 2.5" 45 degree coupler

or order ETS LP2, ETS FMIC, and ETS UPIC

That coupler is kinda weird. If you get a generic one then you might have fitness issues. If you want to maintain the stock then I would say go to the dealership otherwise just upgrade the LICP now. ETS ftw

He already has the Muse LICP and he's looking for the coupler that goes from the pipe to the FMIC.

I'd recommend using the OEM coupler

Sounds like he either doesn't have it or doesn't have the tools to measure it.

I may have those left from a set of blue Samco hose if you want me to look. I didn't use the 2 bottom because I have an after market lower pipe.

If your running an OEM intercooler, you will need to run the OEM 45(or so) degree coupler. If you are running an aftermarket intercooler simliar to ours where the in/out is side to side you will need a straight coupler.

Good luck on your search, if you need any help let me know!
