air ducting???

I am looking for some hose (with an OD of ~4") that I can use to replace what I have between my air filter and throttle body.

My requirements are that I'd like something pretty sturdy, needs to be semi-flexible (no complete bends/corners but needs to bend a little), needs to not be larger than 4" OD and it must be smooth on the inside. Color is secondary but would like blue, black, or red. Just all depends on what my options are

I've seen web sites that sell industrial hose that would work great but they only sell that hose by the reel (100' - 300'). I only need about 15'

I called Napa and explained this to them and they don't have anything or even have a suggestion, so I thought I'd reach out here.

Check with a tool rental store, and see if they have gas powered trash pumps (really mean sump pump) if they have those there is a good chance they have or can get replacement suction hose.. or at least tell you of a local source... It's availabe in several sizes from 1.5 inches on up..

Just a quick Google search; I haven't done any business here, but I think this is what you're looking for.

Silicone Hose

The 3.5" is 3.875" OD

I appreciate the link but I did know about them. If their hose came in longer than 2' lengths, it might work.
