Do you mean hose?

Just use whatever is in bulk at your local autoparts store.

The cheap silicone vacuum hoses age quick. The lose their color and get brittle. I dunno if the $$$ are any better.

I used those shitty plastic ones from my fishtank. The fish died many years ago, so I decided I would use the hoseing for something. As far as I can tell there isnothing wrong. So its cheap and works.

All the more reason to buy good ol' bulk rubber emissions/vacuum hose.

Or just remove all that ****.
