Yahoo/Google is our friend.

I'm sure they can expedite shipping if you give them a call and are willing to pay for it.

I've never dealt with them before, so I cannot vouch for them. But it's worth a shot, and I wish you luck.

I got most of my silicone from racepartsolutions, they are just across the state so you get your package the next day.

If you don't wanna pay taxes just 'accidentally' leave the state location on the default and email them afterwards and say you screwed up.

I gave Levi an extra piece that they sent me but didn't require back and it held up fine on his car and you know how much boost he runs.

Scott, this is where I get all my stuff from. I thought I had what you were looking for, but it was a straight 4" piece. Call them up and they should have it in stock.

Keep the suggestions coming !
Ive heard of guys useing Aqua-Net hair spray. spray it on the tube, then slide the coupling over. Hair spray acts like a lube then helps hold the joint. One guy said he ran his car with no hose clamps by accident and the joints held under 25 PSI.
*EDIT* it was weather strip adhesive. see post #12 http://corner-carvers.com/forums/sho...ght=hair+spray
