I ordered two from FP, i had them in my hand in two days via UPS ground shipping. i am in so cal though, when i called to order them they said they had none in stock and had to make em up really quick, i think thats a great turn around! and they were about $20 each...
i got one day out of the first one before it split, then i orderd a B pipe...
problem solved!

www.hightempsilicone.com , they are awesome quality, super strong and you can get a few different colors too. Also use their hose clamps (T-bolt style) and seal it up with high temp copper sealant (available at NAPA) and if you are running a factory dry pipe check out the JSS factory dry pipe mod it makes installation so much easier!
If installed corectly you should not have a problem with the hightempsilicone.com couplers, they are STRONG.

I know what you mean, I have a dry pipe too. What a pain in the ???
If you want to get that thing running for the weekend, go to Bades Marine in Port Franks, (just past Ipperwash) Ask for a foot of 3.5" ID wet exhaust hose. It's about $20.00. I find this stuff doesn't last very long in my boat, but other guys have been running the same hose for over a year?

You need some serious muscle to push that pipe on with the coupler while in the boat, with the JSS mod it slides on ALOT easier. I use a crapload of the hightemp sealant too.
