Here is another thought... Those couplers are about 50 dollars...
Cost to manufacture is under a dollar. If you could find the exact configuration , you could buy one at Home Depot for under five dollars...
So let's recap... is does not add any HP. You're paying 5000% markup. Yes 5000%. But, it is purdy....and it's only fifty bucks.. everyone has 50 bucks...
I like Purdy stuff too, but I dont do 5000%, I draw the line at 1000%
Just my Evil slant on things

This is a common practice on other cars; buying a plumbing-type coupler from a hardware store.
Sadly the C5 has a different size at each end of the coupler, and I've been unable to find a "hardware store" model that will fit.
