Coupler for Honker
I've decided to add a Honker to the BlueCoupe, and would like your recommendations on where to get a red silicon coupler that will fit.
TIA

I had the ExtremePSI couplers for my Vararam and when I removed it and installed the Honker I tried to use the same coupler and it didn't seem to want to work. I went back to the stock coupler.

Looks like 3 3/4" ID x 3"
Based on a favorable comment, I guess I'll try the Extreme PSI coupler.

Thanks, but I just ordered 3 3/4. Hope it will stretch.

Yes, according to my mechanic the reducer should be 4 1/2" long just like the stock accordian. I had the Honker install, and kept the original coupler for now. I may still install a silicon coupler eventually for the looks.The really good news is that the Honker, and Cory Harris ported TB and intake manifold are a great combination. The car is now much faster and more responsive, plus it even sounds better.

If I have all this right, we need 3 3/4" - 4" reducer that's 4 1/2" long. Both of the websites listed show only 3" length. Has anyone actually bought one of these and put it on? Does 3" long work?

I did find the below quote on their site interesting though, especially since I have noticed that several of the CAI manufacturers have switched to the "hump" style.
"This is a must have for any intercooler that is connected solidly to the body. Engines have a rocking motion and piping must be allowed some free play to avoid damage to the intercooler end tanks. Each pipe should have a minimum of one hump hose per pipe."
