Any stores that sell silicon hose?

I need only a few inches for the two hose 'outlets' at the top of the primary turbo inlet pipe. I had all the hoses replaced by KD and it seems they neglected to do those two. I am replacing the pipe because it broke, and I figured I would replace those hoses since I'm in there. Anyone know where to buy the hose in a store (Pep Boys, hobby shop)?
Thanks.

i once got the pep boys hose b/c i was in a bind and the quality of the hose sucked. i don't know of any regular stores that would sell anything actually usable for us. just order yourself a couple of feet and keep the extra for a future date. never know when you're gonna need that stuff.

Some performance shops in your area may carry it. Best bet is to get out the phone book and make some calls, or post this in the regional section.

Don't use crappy hose - get some good hose, even if you have to wait for it.

http://www.hosetechniques.com and http://www.hightempsilicone.com are VERY good sources - top quality stuff. Some of the turbo control lines can SERIOUSLY bite you in the *** if you cheap out on crappy hose.

BTW, the small hose on the car is 3.5mm, and the larger hose is 6mm.
