Intake Silicone Reducer Coupler - Where to buy?

[RedRaptor]

Hey guys,

I need to get a silicone reducer coupler.* For those who don't know what it is, it is the connector piece that connects the throttle body to a cold air intake.

It looks like this:

Anybody know where I can get one of these? I've tried contacting CTA, but he doesn't carry it.

Red.

Vibrant has reducer couplings (http://vibrantperformance.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=1022_1036_1073_1141_1170)

anyone who sells vibrant stuff should be able to get it...if not, try an exhaust shop or even Speedtech.

Just like it sounds the reinforced one will be less susceptible to warpage or deformation. For the simple reducer coupling you should be fine with a non-reinforced one, but that's up to you. The price difference is about 3x that of the non-reinforced one.

Let me know,

p.s. I didn't get your PM RR, need to know what colour you want.

CTA, I'm trying to figure out what size I need. :( There is an inlet, outlet and length size. Any chance Vibrant would know the correct one to get for a Mazda3 throttle body to a AEM/MS CAI?

According to the AEM instructions (for the 2.3L) it seems to be a 2.5" to 2.75" coupler:

Vibrant does not carry that size in non-reinforced, but they do in reinforced:

If we can confirm with others that is the right size then I can get a price for you.

Sent you a PM, Patrique. :)

Flippy, "ANY" chance you have a MS CAI boot opened and in stock? Hehe. You can confirm for us 100%? (Joe, u don't go out of your way for this...just testing my luck today ;)).

I have one Robbie but I can't sell it to you. It's part of the whole kit.

Hey Flippy, yeah I know you can't sell it to me. But CTA and I was wondering if you could measure the Outer Diameter of the of both sides to confirm that its a 2.5" to 2.75" so I can get a ricey Vibrant one. ;)

[RedRaptor]

According to the AEM instructions (for the 2.3L) it seems to be a 2.5" to 2.75" coupler:


Just measured the outer diameter of the MS intake. It is indeed the same as the AEM (2.5").

So a 2.75" (throttle body) to 2.5" (MS CAI pipe) would work.
