Which intercooler coupler will I need?

Hello all!

I just purchased a 2006 Evo IX and it came with an ets intercooler piping kit, the coupler that comes off the drivers side end tank of the intercooler had blown off and was damaged when the car was picked up so the stock one was installed to get the car home. I wasn't there to pick up my own car unfortunately, so I wasn't able to see exactly what coupler needed replaced (as in what shape and size it is). My questions is, will I need a a 45 degree coupler, or a 90 degree for this? I've got work and school right now so I don't have a chance to jack the car up for a week or so, but I'd like to have the coupler ordered so by the time I have a chance to work on the car I'll have it here already.

Thank you guys for any help!
Evan

Their website just shows straight couplers at the intercooler. Probably 2.5"

I measures my ETS intercooler piping, so assuming the stock intercooler exit on that is a 2.5" as well, I know now that I'll need 2.5" on each side of the coupler. Only question is what angle I'll need? The one on the car now (the stock one, has an angle to it, looks like probably a 45 degree coupler, does this sound right? It's this one (image I found online)
