Where can I get 3'' rubber tubing??
I'm doing a little intake project for my car and need 3'' rubber tubing. Ideally I need something like this-
3.5'' rubber adapter to > 3'' rubber tubing (tubing will be only be ~9-10'' long)
I've already tried:
Home Depot
Lowes
Dale Hardware
The Parts House
None of them had any in their plubming section biggest tubing they had was 2''
I didn't think finding a 3'' rubber tube w/ adapter would be that difficult.

you might want to check out some racing shops. they should sell some neoprene and silicone air ducting hoses. the neoprene has a temp limit of 300 degrees. the silicone has a limit of 550 degrees.

I buy all my stuff from a company called http://www.hightempsilicone.com/ down in So Cal, they are very affordable and get you your stuff real quick, they sell alot on Ebay and their prices there are probably cheaper then on thier website, just do a search for "silicone hose"

Thanks guys I'll probably try ATP, whats their address? On Grimmer right?
edit: do you think they'll charge me an arm and leg for a piece of piping? I mean I'm not gonna pay any more than $10 for a rubber tube I was trying to make this a cheap DIY mod thats why I went to the hardware store.

I've actually seen that exact part in the ricer aisle at my local Autozone. They sell a cheap cold air intake, and the sell a bit of rubber seperate in case you need it. Try Autozone.
Something like this?
The only size I see is 3'' to 2.5', and a straight 3''.
