Where to find 4" tubing
I have fabricated a homemade intake bellows for my NA Camaro and I have not had any luck locating some connection tubing. I need 4" ID and 3.5" ID. I was hoping some of you blown or turbo guys might know where I could find this stuff. I have checked my local parts stores, plumbing supplys, big truck parts stores, and hardwares. Thanks in advance for any help.

Truck shops should be able to get it easily mine can. What are you looking for bends or straights or?? How long? What material (stainless, Alum, Carbon Fiber???)

Yeah Steven I guess I should have mentioned that. Just some kind of thin wall rubber tubing. Something that isnt corded or steel lined like the stuff I have found around here. I dont need much just a couple of inches of both sizes. It will be used as a connector with a clamp on both ends. Hey Jordan what did they call that tubing you got from the truck shop? The guy I delt with told me the stuff he has in the back only goes to 2 1/2. He had some intercooler connecters that might have worked for the 4" but it is ribbed in the center and there is not enough flat section on the ends for what I need. Thanks again for the help.

Can I assume you are using this to connect your MAF sensor to a 4" tube for your CAI?
If so, I have been using a Fernco one that works great for this. I think it might even be 4" -> 3" but the 3" end fits over the MAFS with a little muscle.
You can pick one up at the Home Depot, or similar home improv. store.

I would rather have the stuff used on the diesel trucks as Jordan and others suggested on my SC'd car. The Fernco would be a cheap alternative for a N/A car.
