Question Looking for parts

I'm wanting/needing to buy some replacement parts and didn't know where to find them. I have the CT kit w/ Lt1 maf and needing to replace the silicone coupler between it and the throttle body. I know they are different sizes but i don't know the exact size of reducer i need. Also looking for a replacement gasket that goes between the turbo downpipe where it joins the normal downpipe. I've compared it to a few the local parts store has and it doesn't match any of them. So if you guys could tell me what size i need and where to find them it would be greatly appreciated!!

I did email them and got a response. It was $44 for the two little parts he said over $20 was just in shipping cost. So i'm trying to find out where else i can get them.

Kent, there is a place around 11th and 129th in Tulsa that made or carried a large selection of silicone type hoses. Its down there around that big truck stop, a Flyin' J if I remember correctly. Im sorry I dont remember the name of the place. But they were just off 11th street at the corner of 11th and 129th. There is a series of Quansan hut type buildings and they were in one of those.

I wish I could give you more but its been a long time since I was in that area. I used to drive by it everyday on my way to work. Hope this helps out.

at least for the silicone coupler, get some measurements so you know what you need, then hit up ebay. search for silicone coupler... there's dozens and dozens out there.

as for the gasket, are you talking about the one that goes at the top of the downpipe in front of where the converter would be? (for instance to be used with a 3" downpipe from wbody store, zzp, etc? )
