check with RCShowcase -I think Mike has some -also ask him about your specific installation - I run small sections of a re-inforced heater hose which does NOT burn out in a years operation and is quite easy to use . on my Super 80 I use 30mm id aluminum tube header - whch requires larger flex -if you use flex - they have it
personally I opt for the heater hose -but the pipe must all align and be supported .

Hi Dick,
Checked with Mike, but his pipe only does up to 1in. Thanks for the info though.
Cheers, Dave.
