High Quality Couplers?

Ok, so I'm getting ready to put all of this together and I really need to get some couplers. I've looked at a lot of places online and am just not sure of the quality of them all. I guess what I wanna know is where everybody got their couplers from and if they were of good quality or not. I don't wanna be paying 30 bucks a coupler either. (I guess I'm cheap. lol)

Here's one site I had found which has a ton of them that I need.
http://www.hightempsilicone.com/

Anyone else bought from them? I need to get some before the end of next week...

Re: High Quality Couplers?

I dont know... theres another site I found through the advertisement on this site, something like enginestylin.com. Their couplers were like $7-$10 a piece and I guess thats what I was going to get for my Talon.

Re: High Quality Couplers?

Yeah, Samco has to be the best quality coupler I've ever used. Not cheap and not easy to get, but good stuff.

Re: High Quality Couplers?

Ok, so are all of these couplers Samco or just some other brand? If they aren't, will they still work ok you think? I need to buy my couplers today and get my car back together as soon as I can.

No, they are not all Samco, but they should work OK IDK for sure so I hate to comment. They are pretty thick though I was thinking about using them myself. They even have nomex reenforced couplers

Re: High Quality Couplers?

Thanks Nayr (I was lookin for 3 inch though. lol ) I ended up going with extreme psi for my couplers and t-bolt clamps. I also got a few other random things I needed from them.

Thanks for all your help everyone.
