Default Should I replace the stock air coupler?

Hi Guys,

I'm getting ready to mount my nitrous nozzle. Should I replace my stock coupler with a silicon coupler, so I mount the nozzle on there? Or should I just mount the nozzle right before the stock coupler?

Thanks

I would only get the new coupler if you're worried about removing the kit and returning to stock. Otherwise, the installing the nozzle in the factory airbridge will work fine...really, as good as with a silicone coupler.

The only real gain would be in the looks department imo.

Thanks

Returning to stock??? Are you kidding me, that would be the last thing I want to do. :D I'll take your advice and will mount it on the airbridge.

The $65 savings on the silicon coupler will go to two bottle refills.

:cheers:
