4" flexible tubing to turbo - any negatives? Where can I find it?

[Warp6]

I'm thinking about running 4" flexible tubing instead of an aluminum pipe to my 4" inlet turbo. I like the business look and the adjustability. I don't want it to collapse though. Any negatives to this stuff? I'd like to find it in all black. Where can I get it? Pics of what you're running would be cool. Thanks in advance, Craig

how big of a piece do ya need. I have some left over. It's not goin to collapse!

Just guessing 26"-30". I need to go from the turbo to almost to the corner of the radiator. It needs to end right about where the MAF would be. I have a big-mouth cold air elbow that is 4" diameter coming up from under the driver side fender.

I had it on my car without any issues. As a matter of fact I think it's sitting in my shop with the K&N filter on it. If you want I can send you a pic.

I'd like to see it as well. On a side note, where is the best place to get a big mouth 4 inch cold air kit?

Thanks, I guess you're talking to me..ha!

well I found it but it isn't that flexible .. Try McMaster-Carr the stuff in the box was HD 5" flexible hose

Thanks Grumpy - went over to McMaster Carr and looked around. It's hard to tell what it really looks like from their pictures. I'd like it to look good. I don't want it to look like I robbed someones vacuum cleaner ha! What is everyone else running? I've seen some on turbo buicks that looks real good.

this is 4" cat ducting. it compresses and stretches. pretty durable and easy to work with even with the wire in it. easy to make a custom ram air set up.
