I understand that there really is no more Aerotrend.... Has anyone found a source for the same type of material?

I'm using a McMaster Carr coupler material

McMaster Number = 5236K951
(Same as 5236K95)
Silicone Rubber Tubing Soft, 3/4'' ID, 1'' OD, 1/8'' Wall, Blue

Quantity Per Ft.
1-99 Ft. $3.43

I don't believe this to be nearly as robust as the Aerotrend stuff I used to buy as exhaust extensions so if anyone knows the Aerotrend source can you share the info

Thank you,
Chris

I have been using a thin fiberglass-teflon laminate with silicone adhesive. I simply roll a coupler out of this stuff, directly onto pipe and header, adhesive side down. Purchased from Mc Master Carr. High strength, hi temp and needs no clamps. Also very light since I only need about 5-6 layers.
