Need help on getting silicone couplers and T bolt clamps!

Ok guys I can't think right at the moment so help me out. I have all the "ghetto" coupler and clamps that you buy that the local hardware store and I've decided to get the real deal.

My intercooler pipes are exactly 2 1/8" outside diameter (2" inside). So, do I need a 2" silicone hose and a 2.5" T-bolt clamp?

2" silicone couplers are fine, you will need to stretch them a tad bit which is what you'd want. Depending on the outside diameter of the silicone coupler, you may not need a 2.5" t-bolt clamp. Maybe 2.25" would work, but again it depends on the OD of the coupler.

Siliconeintakes.com tells you what clamps you need for what coupler. check it out, might be useful. I'd say 2.25 though.

Same thing I will be doing, I recommend the Hose Techniques couplers because they have the transition, custom, and straight coupler and are just sexy, and you can buy a T-bolt clamp kit off ebay

siliconeintakes.com is great when they have what you need in stock. They tell you what is needed to run with their couplers and they have all the transition and hump hoses etc.

Napa has t-bolt clamps, which is handy if you're unsure about fitment. It'll save you on shipping.

Btw, if you put hairspray on the piping where the coupler goes you will never have any charge pipes coming off
