I'm about 45mins away from my car and attempting to order some IC couplers. I've got all the sizes, except for the tank size. Does anyone know off hand the O.D. of the GReddy V-SPL coupler connection?

figured it out....
The outlet pipes are 2.75" or 70mm for both the inlet and outlet on this intercooler.
Yep, just had to replace the GReddy supplied one going from the hot pipe to the IC. It was severely cracked in between the two hose clamps, so it was only a matter of time before it blew up. The other couplers are still in good shape after 4+ years.

I've noticed the Greddy ones seem to crack all to shit but I guess any silicone coupler would break down after that long, expanding and contracting every few seconds, lol.

eh, greddy ones especially. the ones wrapped in fabric hold up fine, its just the cheap harder silicone ones that kinda blow goat.

+1. I've replaced the two hard silicone couplers that have no plys, so no more crap that could potentially fail.

When I had to order replacement couplers, I went to MVP. I don't know where they get theres, but the company that makes them has sets for MVPs supras, so I figured if it can hold up to that much PSI, I should be good.
