2.25" coupler, can it be "forced" to fit a 2" and a 2.5"?

Check out siliconeintakes.com They sell all the different couplers for cheap. You'll be pissed if you blow a coupler or tear one. Plus it could cause you to over-spin and damage your turbo. And who likes half-assing ****? I mean, if you're in a bind, sure. But don't rig it to save 20 bucks.

I got a 2 inch coupler to fit a 2.25 inch pipe, just make a small slit in the coupler at the end to help slideing it onto the pipe, use some hairspray, and force that sucker on there. Its been holding with a v band clamp for 8 months now...

I'd recommend looking through the car parts store's radiator hoses to find what you need. It's intended for moderately high temp, moderate pressure, and is cord reinforced. I've been using a 2" 90° bend from this method since May with a few thousand miles on the clock and it is in perfect shape. If you look closely at my sig pic, you'll see it coming off the compressor outlet.
