what are these for?

**CFM Focus** · 04-18-2006, 12:06 AM

To replace the factory rubber couplers and clamps on the SVT DSI intake manifold.

**Reza** · 04-18-2006, 05:15 PM

how much are they?

**CFM Focus** · 04-18-2006, 05:32 PM

They are currently priced at $19.95 but they will be going up in the future. If you click on the image it will take you to our site.

Even though I do not have FI at the moment, would getting these anyways be one of those "preventive measures", so to speak? Reason I ask is because my car for the most part has sat for the last 2 years and once I get back to the states I'm doing quite an overhaul of most of the stock parts on it, including things like mounts, hoses, lines, etc etc. Things that are rubber are at the top of my list.

**CFM Focus** · 04-19-2006, 07:48 PM

To be honest with you, to me they're worth the $20 just to add some color to the engine compartment. The factory rubber pieces will last a while. The main concern is the non-adjustable style clamps that Ford originally used on the early SVT models. For a NA application the couplers will not see nearly as much heat or pressure as with forced induction but it is always nice to have something with superior quality and strength to give you peace of mind.

**ArmyFocus** · 04-20-2006, 03:28 AM

I agree and that's what I'm looking for. And hey, can't argue with the great looks that they will add!!

**2.0TooSlow** · 05-01-2006, 02:13 PM

These look awesome! Here's some partially installed pictures:

Does the intake manifold have to be removed to install?

No, the fuel rail and injectors must be moved for access to clamps.

**02_smurf** · 05-02-2006, 11:53 AM

Or you can be dumb like me and do it on the car (had 2 stocks pop off and did them while still on the car

)

**elderfeces** · 09-10-2006, 08:40 PM

Just replaced my stock couplers with the CFM ones, and let me tell you, it sure was worth it. I suspected a leak with the stockers, and I guess I was right - back at full power now.

For the price, this sure is one hell of a worthwhile product. Thanks guys for offering these high quality couplers, they sure get the job done.

**jdh0526** · 09-10-2006, 10:09 PM

i did the mod also. Pretty nifty looking. Worth the 20 bucks

**DilSVT** · 02-28-2007, 09:42 AM

20 bucks. Took me 35 minutes. Forever avoided major engine failure due to rubber couplers bending.

**SLVRbulletSVT03** · 02-28-2007, 01:02 PM

Im planning to pick these up, simply for the color upgrade and peice of mind! How hard was the install on a scale of 1 to 5 for people that installed these? I have minor mechanical ability....anyone?

It really helps to have small hands for this job. Even with limited mechanical ability, you shouldn't have too much trouble with swapping these in.

**SLVRbulletSVT03** · 03-02-2007, 08:17 AM

Ok, cool, i'll be ordering these ASAP! Any idea when the price will be bumped up? I just wanna get the current price!
