ok guys i found the answer to my own question if you will settle for black connectors. thanks random but those are a little ont he expensive side. you can get the 3 to 2 inch reducer at lows in the pipe clamp section it come with the 2 clamps too for like 4 bucks. they also have the straight 3 to 3 or 2 to 2 basically any size rubber connectors you can think of and seem to be of good quality. just letting you know.
thanks everyone eek.gif

The hardware store connectors will work, but just make sure they are THICK rubber. When that rubber heats up it gets soft, and thin rubber can "collapse" when under suction (hard acceleration).

Also...that rubber is not meant for the heat in engine bays. Make SURE you keep an eye on it for cracking/melting/falling apart.

The Thermalflex hose is somewhat expensive, but that is Silocone hosing. It will last for YEARS.
