Question Piping an intake

I'm building a cold air intake - anyone know a good source for the 4" piping and flexible hose?

4" pipe you can get about anywhere...

I used these guys for a 4" aluminum mandrel bend I just bought for my truck, they're way cheaper than everybody else.

Flexible tubing/ducting, I'm not sure, that same site has some I think...also most dryer vent hose is 4".

That's what I'm talking about!
I was hoping some place closer to home, but that's not too bad.
I'll give them a call and see what they can do for me.

Thanks!

For most of you ducting 4" single wall vent pipe works well.
Much better than dryer vent because of the smooth inner surface.
Single wall vent pipe also has adjustable ells.
Most hardware stores have it.
Also a pair of tin snips can cut it to length.
And lastly it is not overly expensive.
