    Where do I buy.....

    .....3" flexible aluminium tubing for my DIY CAI pipe? Bunnings sells 4" stuff, Autobarn/Supercheap Auto etc sell 3" plastic cr*p, but I can't find the 3" aluminium stuff that you get in a lot of the brand name CAI kits. Anyone know where to find it?

    I was looking for the same stuff earlier this week. That stuff at bunnings would have been perfect if it was 3" and cheaper.
    I was just going to try get some plastic stuff from a plumbing supply shop. but if anyone has a better idea im willing to listen.
    Im trying to do this on the cheap. im using the stock air box, modified for a pod filter. just need to set up a better cold air feed now.

    I bought mine from Autobarn of all places after searching high and low for something that wasn't ridged on the inside.

    I think it was Monza brand and was about $25-30

    go to a metal dealer and get your alli and then use the silicone connector hoses available at most auto shops
