## Overview

The Spectre Performance 8771 Intake Coupler is a precision-engineered black PVC adapter designed to join 3-inch intake tubes to either 2.5-inch or 3-inch components. Featuring a removable 2.5-inch reducer and two stainless steel worm gear clamps, it ensures a secure, durable connection ideal for automotive air intakes and dust collection systems. Compact and easy to install, this coupler delivers enhanced airflow efficiency and reliable performance, backed by a 3-month warranty and stellar user reviews.

## Description

Spectre’s black air intake coupler is designed to connect any 3 inch outside diameter component or air intake tube with another 3 inch or 2.5 inch outside diameter component or intake tube. This coupler comes complete with 2 stainless steel worm gear hose clamps and a 2.5 inch removable reducer. This intake coupler is not recommended for turbo-charged/supercharged engines.

Review: Works Great! - Fast delivery and easy to install.
Review: Workshop dust collection - I am using a couple of these in a woodworking shop. They're the best way I've found to connect dust collection adapters directly to machines. This coupler gives me an alternative to putting an in-line reducer between two separate hose diameters. I find in-line reducers to be klunky. Furthermore, when you maintain a larger hose diameter hose all the way to the machine, you will end up with higher velocity, ergo better dust collection. Different than PVC fittings, workshop dust collection fittings are specified by their OUTER diameter. Dust collection hoses are all specified by INNER diameter. If you want to connect a standard 4" hose to a machine with a 3" outlet (or reduce it to a standard 'shop vac' sized hose), you essentially need a very short piece of hose and some hose clamps. The problem is that using a piece of standard dust collection hose is not very robust, any you may have to buy 20' of hose just to get a 4 inch section. These couplers are the preferred alternative. They're cheap, stiff, durable, and create a semi-permanent way to 'adapt' 2.5" and 3" dust ports to standard sizes when combined with the appropriate adapters.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the inside dimension of this coupler. Is it actually 3 inches?**
A: It is 3" I.D.  I  was able to stretch it to fit over a 3 1/4" with out too much trouble. (hot water) It comes with a bushing to reduce it to 2 1/2" I.D. also.

**Q: can you use this to connect an intake (2.5 in) with the filter (3 in.)? would you say the material is strong enough without falling?**
A: Hi,The material is strong enough for this connection, but bear in mind a few issues:A. weight and mass of the filter will more than likely need to use additional supports to hold it up without slipping,( I use a bungee cord)B. the clamps are usually what loosen due to repeated heating, and this can cause slippage too.

**Q: What is the height?**
A: If you mean the length of the piece(not diameter), it's just under 2.5 inches.

**Q: Why can't I use this on a turbo car?**
A: May not withstand the boost pressure or vacuum, if the seller says no, find something else.
