Exclamation Quick! Need a replacement coupler! What size do i need?

Damn coupler blew the side out as soon as i went to pass a car. I want to order one ASAP instead of waiting to get home as it will ship a day sooner if i do. Can anyone tell me what size the opening on the ZZP intercooler is(same as stock opening i know)? 2.5"?

I think the coupler blew out the side because the body shop mounted my new intercooler a little off center after the wheel in the road claimed the last one, and the coupler was pulled a bit to the side because of it. Guess ill have to get un-lazy and move the intercooler to center now.

Thanks!

Most likely is a 2.5 but if you can find 2.75 or 3" it would be better cause you technically can tighten the **** out of it... the L silicone right?

Nah a straight piece off the intercooler end. I ordered 2.5 as it was the best information i could find doing a search today. Everyone was referring to clamp size in most posts.

2.5", you may have to switch clamps. I know I was blowing off the lower charge pipe and upper charge pipe. I switched to stock clamps and had no more issues.

Get the exact size which is a 2.5 I believe. If you get a larger one and try squeezing it down you will end up with a boost leak. Send me a text BTW so we can get everythign set up!
