[Shotimes] Air intake couplers, anyone know of a good place?

[Bruce Malachuk]

Paul thank you for mentioning the Fernco name. Thier website has loads of
measurements and specs. Also looks like they have some things out there that
are thinner walled that I could use as a makeshift flex joint to allow some
movement.

I have a large plumbing distributor just down the road from me and I'm gonna
hit'em up tomorrow with some part numbers off the Fernco site.
