I've never used NAPA couplers. I get couplers online or at United Speed World. Amazon couplers are good too.

Go to Amazon Hose. Get their three ply couplers. Grab some t-bolt clamps. And be done. That should be sufficient enough. I never bead rolled my piping. Never had a problem up to 22lbs

I went and got some t-bolt clamps from napa today, and I'm picking up the 90degree coupler I need later on in the day from racecar engineering down here..

And if you can't get them bead rolled, weld some beads on them. There are no excuses for charge pipes blowing off.
