FMIC RX7 Silicone

I have looked up FMIC, couplers, rx7, silicone, piping, and can not seem to find out what silicone piping I need and what angles to connect the Big Tom FMIC style. I thought the one I purchased came with the silicone but it did not. Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes I already read

but it just says he picked them up from a local shop in Sweden, just a little out of the way for me. thank you for the help

I used something like this, just make sure its the right diameter for your intercooler.

Also keep in mind you may need to play around with the fitment, as its a "universal kit" and may require some cutting.

you need a 90, and a 45 coupler. The lengths and fitment is gonna all be custom and depend on how you mount your intercooler
