shop that sells all sizes silicone couplers?

looking for a online shop that sells a variety of couplers

want to replace the couplers on my IC,and all piping.

my greddy coupler ripped and gave me a HUGE boost leak.

so dont mention greddy please.

i went to lancershop.com and they have a good amount but pretty pricey.ive searched hawaii and will continue too but most dont have the sizes i need or have only one size.

thanks

www.verociousmotorsports.com They are a vendor over on tristatetuners. Very reasonable prices and they have a lot of choices.

Replacing all (6) Greddy UICP and LICP couplers as well. Any idea what size couplers fits with no leaks? Having a hard time deciding which are appropriate replacements. Since Greddy uses metric sizing, some of the sizes listed do not exist. I'm not quite sure if I should undersize, which will probably be pain to install or not fit at all or oversize a tiny bit and risk leaking. Here's some info I acquired from the Greddy IC and UICP manual. Anyone who replaced the Greddy couplers, please chime in, let me know which sizes to buy.

60mm = 2.36" Coupler (1) 2.25" or 2.375" ???
70mm = 2.75" Coupler (2) 2.75"
50mm - 60mm = 1.96" - 2.36" Reducer (1) 2" - 2.25" or 2" - 2.375" ???
60mm - 70mm = 2.36" - 2.75" Reducer (2) 2.25" - 2.75 or 2.375" - 2.75" ???

I would go with SAMCO hoses... they have them in both metric and imperial. Samco and hosetechniques are both pricy, but you're paying for quality. Thin hoses burst, they discolor and are a total pain. Purchase a quality product and you won't be disapointed.

While you're at it, also replace the hose clamps with T-bolt clamps.

Any idea where I can purchase the Samco hoses? Hose Techniques do not have all Greddy couplers and reducers exact sizes available. Already bought some T-bolt clamps, evo8dad, another member here suggested. Here's a link of the T-bolt clamps, for anyone that might be interested.
