So I have the full injen intake kit, and was told that my coupler that mates the throttle body to the UICP, is wearing down and causing a leak... I was brought over to the coupler and had me press on the coupler, (in the 90* elbow section) and can press the coupler in quite easily...

question 1: is this normal? To be able to press in the coupler, very easily?

2: Where can I purchase 1? as I have contacted Injen, and this is what I got...
Hello,
I believe you are looking for the 90 degree silicone elbow part # X-3139
dimensionsEVO) 2-3/4" ID 3-ply. Sharp 90 deg. Elbow
3.875 x 3.25"

I go and look on their site, and no item #... sent them another message, saying its not listed on their site... and got this
Alright sorry about that I cant seem to find it on injenonline either so ill sell it directly to you. do you have a fax # I can send you a credit card authorization form to?
cost: $27.27

Now I would like to purchase a coupler that is a bit thicker ply, that wont wear down as easily, and possibly from a shop in the US, as I believe ordering direct would be from over seas. not sure, assuming...

If any 1/ vendors could confirm that its normal (to be able to press in the coupler as desribed) or not, and direct me to a place I can purchase a new 1 would be a great help...

TIA

 

can any1 w/ an injen UICP, feel on the coupler (that mates the TB), and see if its stiff or easy to push in??? This would help me determine if I should just replace it or not...

TIA

 

if you are having doubts about the elbow coupler by the tb, then order a new one from ETS, they are very strong..

 

^^

contact ets they will be the easiest company to deal with in terms of quickly and proficiently sourcing you the coupler you need

 

Yes, the Injen coupler connecting to the throttle body is pretty flexible and soft. I was actually poking around today. I was actually looking for a replacement coupler to the intercooler from Injen and their website store is not to great and I could not get one. Go through ETS like others have said for that coupler.

 

I have both upper and lower made by Weapon R. The coupler that came in with is made of a different material than the stock one.

 

Should be able to find one... even forge sells them.

 

I run the Injen piping also. I like the pipes and I really like the placement of the DV but the couplers are the weak part of the kit. I've blown off a boost tube around 5 times in the last year. I'm going to look into upgraded couplers as well. Let us know what you decide to do and how it works out for you.

 

thanks for the insight guys. I'll contact ets, and see what I can come up w/ and report back...
