I used some 1.5" Flexible Duct Hose:

I purchased 10' of that hose.

Then wrapped it in some heat shrink fabric:

I found 10' sections on eBay and went with that.

End result:

The top hose is pre-heat shrink fabric and the bottom hose is after it was applied.

Hope that helps.

hey geKx,
when you bought the hose did you put 10 for QTY: or did you have to specify with the company?

Yes, It was a drop down option on the eBay listing.

Just re-read that question.

Sorry, I thought you ment the heat shrink fabric.. on the hose it was sold per foot.

I went with 10' because I had read the two back hoses were around 3' a piece and the side was 4'.

I'd rather have them too long and then shorten as needed than too short to begin with.

yeah I noticed they sold the hose by the foot and when it says quantity I was wondering if you put 10. Sorry I didn't phrase my questions clear.

[gEkX]

Yep, just put a 10 in for the quantity.

They ship it in one solid 10 foot piece.
