i used to use that for "true ram-air" haha! then i stepped up to the corrugated black plastic one for more durability. can't beat home depot motorsports.

i actually saw someone in their honda use an electrical conduit box for an oil catch can. that was the most originally riced out thing i've ever seen.

Back about 10-12 years ago, I used to work at Progressive Auto Sounds and yes, I must admit I too had a Ghetto Fab ram air on my Honda Accord. I used the JL Audio flex-port, and it worked like a charm. It was black plastic and you could bend it and it would hold its shape on it's own. Awesome stuff!

they should be on the racks in the plumbing section. they come in different sizes, from 3in (minimum) and up. they're like sewage pipes. for the way you have it routed, i'd rather stay with that aluminum dryer hose since the black one is a lot stiffer than the aluminum one.
