Is the one that you get with SF kit good enough or do you have to buy something like this at the end?

i ordered my silicone couplers from www.atpturbo.com

You will need about (7) 2.25", (2) 2.5", (1) 2.0", (1) transition coupler.....2.5" - 2.25"

btw, make sure you get T-bolt clamps to fit all of these

you need to get a gasket for the oil return on the T3, exhaust inlet gasket for the T3 and a OEM exhaust manifold gasket. And you will need to get some fuel line for the fmu.....i used 5/16's and double clamped it.

you can get the gaskets for the T3 here........ www.atpturbo.com

On my SF kit the link was missing. So I bought a missinglink. The only problem is you have to clean it ever couple of hundred miles or your map sensor does not read correctly and your car will run like crap.
