Hign Temp Silicone hose/coupler

Basically this is for anybody for any car...

Has anyone ever heard of or bought anything from www.hightempsilicone.com I ordered a coupler, plus two t-bolt clamps and haven’t heard from them since. They took my money, but no parts. So, just wondering if anyone has dealt with them, I would not do business with them again. This is the coupler I order, if anyone knows a trustworthy source where I can get this, please let me know. Thanks…

Lesson learned go to BBB and check out a company before you buy.

Have you called them? I'd harass the crap outta 'em. Ph# 760-956-9994. That product link you posted didn't work... and I buy all my couplers from a local hose shop. They have a huge warehouse full of every hose you could ever think of. Oh... and if it's a stepped coupler (diff in & out sizes) you could check w/ a local tuning shop.

Link should be fixed now, thanks. What's the average size of a coupler? I just had a eblow coupler and needed a straight, well it fits, but it seems a bit short, cuz under boost at 7psi and hold it...it'll slip off. Which then I have to pull over fix it and then go on.

But yes I have called them everyday. No answer, just the machine saying "all customer representives are busy and if you leave a message we will get back to you." Yeah right! I just wanted to check and see if anyone here has dealt with them, next step would be filing a claim with BBB, would it help...I don't know. It's better than just sitting around doing nothing about it and have them take my money.

If you just need a straight piece... look up in the phone book a local hose shop & ask them if they have blue "Federal Hose." Looks like this: It's the shiznit & costs about $5-$8/ft.

I just gave them a call... had to leave a message. Per www.anywho.com that ph# is registered to:

Elastofab Technologies
Hesperia, CA 92345
760-956-9994

Anyone live near Hesperia? Looks like it's north of San Bernardino....

Thanks...I'll look for that type of hose. Yeah, $8 is better than what I paid that's for sure.

Yeah that's the address...

here's more just for a FYI:

17216 Lilac Street
Unit 3 (probably a stroage unit)

Hey, I signed up to say that this site ripped me off too. I ordered back on October 15 and never received my order. A couple people on Rx7Club also have been ripped off.

Be careful where you are ordering from I guess.

Has anything been resolved or did you guys just let it go?
