Exhaust Coupler?

[RickDizzle]

What are you guys using for high temp reinforced silicone exhaust coupler? I want to get an extra for my Raminator, but Primal sells it for $6.99. Seems I could probably buy a foot of that material for that much. Curious as to what you guys use?

The coupler that came with my olimat pipe looks to be your standard silicone coolant hose and its held up the best and longest out of any other coupler I've had..maybe email Simon at olimat or have doug call and ask since he's close to him to see what brand of hose he uses

I really like that one too. Its thick yet holds up

Looks like goodyear silicone coolant hose on my olimat. Go to your local autoparts store. And buy a foot of the stuff

Thats probably going to be a napa kind of thing. Autozone and advanced try to peddle their own poopy brands.

ebay has a few with different sizes color and even have angles. cut it with a box cutter and use a heavy duty automotive hose clamp to hold it in place.

Ebay couplers are cheap and suck. The cheap silicone couplers burn up and don't last long also hose clamps look like dog poop next to a nice pipe I use zipties with no issue

Blue silicone heater hose works great. Cheap and easy to replace.

Id like to know what gasket material he uses.

Went to my local Napa and hit up my parts guy. He sold me the Napa high temp 350° rated silicon tubing in a 1 foot length. For the Raminator I needed 7/8ths inner diameter. Its part# NBH 1514. Just shy of $20 for the foot. My Merle's Automotive sells the same for $37 for 3 feet. A foot will make plenty for me. Got it on and installed and truck is running great again!
