SignUp Now!Few more. This is with the SE fm ic we sell with 3" pipes, 6262 dbb turbo, 4" MAF pipe with Z06 sensor.
For anyone sitting on the fence...here's my experience with this product.
Since the reducers supplied with this kit are not sized quite right.......
You'll need to buy (2) 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" Silicone Reducer Couplings if you want to get 100% proper fit. Rad pipe supplied is 1 1/4" OD and the connections on our Buicks is 1 1/2" at both the rad outlet and thermostat housing.
After lots of research and hunting....I finally found a source for these in black (which is not too common .....as I found out for this size).
Got them from :
Flex Technologies - Your Silicone Hose Solution
#R40B 125-150 @ $17.60 ea net.
These were'nt inexpensive, but fit perfectly......
With these new silicone reducer cplgs....I am now 100% happy with the fit, look and performance of this rad pipe.

Sorry for the mix up, must have had a Sr.'s moment.....here's the correct info: GN1's 1 pc aluminum upper rad pipe is actually 1 1/2" dia.....buick upper rad outlet is 1 1/4" dia........got these mixed up on my earlier post above.
You will need the above 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" silicone reducer coupling for proper fit.
Note: FYI......this does not appear to be the exact same unit that Mark is offering....think he said his is 1 1/4" OD.
