where can i buy 4" intake pipe?

ok guys... i got a t70 and im working out the install right now.

im looking for pipe to make a 4" CAI. I had a 3" cai with my old setup using muffler pipe and pvc. it sucked...

i found this flex pip on ebay. its spiral core and seems like it would work great for what im trying to do. BUT its $96 for a 4' section and like $70 for 2'.


so i was thinking ok ill get some 4" pipe and maybe a 4" ubend or something. thats gonna run me the same $90 once its said and done.

I wana to know what you are running. please post your setup and where you got the stuff from to make it.

EDIT:
found a link to the flex pipe company.. seems like some good stuff. but $90!!! there has to be something like it at home depot or something.

i found plenty of places offering ubends and pipe in 4" but welding on it or cupplers to connect where i have to cut it to fit would cost hella.

I went to a shop where hydraulic hoses are made and bought a 4" rubber hose with spiral core. It is very strong and insulates the cold air from the engine heat. It also looks good and the price was 8 dollars per foot. Aluminum is cheap but welding it is very expensive.
