Try http://www.stylinmotors.com, from all my looking I found them with one of their banner ads on this site. prices are anywhere from $4-$30 cheaper than those other places. 5 ply too.

To the Hump Hose question. I think it is for coupling pipes together that move slightly under torque. in other words, they give a little, so they won't pop off as easy.

This is where I was going to buy some couplers and other stuff but for the past couple of weeks their site is down. Looks like they didn't renew their hosting or dns. Anyone know what's up, I was hoping to order soon.

Powertech is in the middle of a name change. Try http://www.powertechperformance.com and see what you get. That is their new name and new website URL. Their phone number is on the site, give Jamie a call and he will take care of you. Tell him GP in West Virginia sent you, might save you a buck or three.

ATP is a great business and their couplers are top notch. I have a few of them new right now that I need to get rid of.

For any kind of 90/45/70 degree bends or reducers, go onto ebay and search for everything for sale by seller jrprp1. He sells tons of silicone products and they are very nice and at a super good price. I just bought a 90 degree reducing coupler off of him for 29 Shipped!!!! That's unbelievable. The only other place I could find the exact same size and bend that I needed was from Samco which was $47 plus a 3 week wait for it to get here.

+1 for ATP. They are great. I needed one pin for the GM 3 bar map sensor and instead of sending just one pin they sent the whole connector for free. I didn't even pay shipping.

Nothing against any other stores. But watch for qualtiy! Most of the inexpensive items out there are inexpensive for a reason. Most of it is made in China, and they use a lot of fillers to keep the price down. How do we know? Becuase many of the factories over ther have approached us to take over our manufacturing.

Some of the plants over there will add as much as 40% filler to 60% silicone. Thus making the product unstable and its lifespan considerably shorter. Not sure about the rest of you, but I would prefer not to have a chunk of cheap silicone or road debris sucked into my engine after a cheap coupler failed. Most of the above names are self branded Chinese manufactured. FYI
