OD of the stock tb

Anyone know the stock OD of the 2.8 tb? I have a 2.25 tube here and its tight to get on but will go on with coaxing. There is a lip on the tb that helps keep the hose on it after the clamp is tightened. I am wondering if that could eqaute to anotehr 1/4 inch for the diameter

I dotn' have any calipers otherwise I would measure. I want to get some silicone couplers but don't want to spend $35 and then find that it doesn't fit.

truck shops have the stuff for less then speed shops.

I think I bought two and a quarter for my TB.

Dude... I bought a silicone coupler for $9 after taxes...

Are you trying to buy the fiber-reinforced couplers intended for boosted apps? 'Cos a plain-jane "Vibrant Performance" coupler MSRPs at like $10

I found a TB I got laying around. The OD is 2.366 the lip on the end is 2.448.

so 2.5 it is. Thanks man.

Anotehr buddy told me about an hour ago he measured his at 2-3/8ths so I guess its close enough. You used a digital caliper it seems so thats more accurate.

Couplers that I need are around $35-$50 a pop. I need odd sizes and transitions is why.

heh

I've actually GOT a 2.5 - 3" reinforced coupler that is just hanging around looking stupid... Came with a rice-pipe I altered to fit my 3.4TDC.

You want it? I promise no treadmarks this time

I need a 2 inch to 2.5 inch 90 degree and then a 45 degree 2.5/2.5 preferably black in color.

I check ebay every so often. I am looking for cheap stuff for now like rad hoses though locally so I can pay like $5 to use them to test fit them before I get the real deal.
