Coupler Size for Mintor Header/Pipe

[Brian Billings]

Why we are on this subject, I am wondering what everyone uses for the outlet of the pipe to direct exhaust out the belly pan, I have used the dubru rubber one but have seen some aluminum stingers as well, any opinions? I am setting up a Mintor 170 with mintor pipe and header, the rubber Dubro unit looks smaller in dia. and I am wondering if it will hurt performance.

Thanks,

Brian Billings

  How about a catalog part number??? The thing I hate about regular couplers is that they are so thick that they are heavy. This sounds interesting....and I have at least $9 that I can experiment with.

  There is also TERRIFIC and long-lasting, flexible, 1/8" wall, high temp silicone tubing available from McMaster Carr.  I bought a THREE foot length for about $9....it will make couplers that are VERY flexible, durable, and that length will last for YEARS....

  Moose-Boy, 
   
  3/4"   If you can get the AeroTrends  Ultra Blue silicon part #1039 coupler would work best.  Their phone# is 203-734-0600 if you cant get through your LHD.

  I want to order some spare coupler material for my Mintor.  What is the best size to use (3/4 or 7/8)?   

  Thanks
