The only kind of pipe ive seen like what you describe,as far as i know is sold at hardware stores.

They have a smooth finish but still are rough only because of outside edge ditto on the inside but is still flexible.There is only one way in which the pipe can flex.And that is multiple joins.Which in turn give it that bumpy feel.

If you do find what you are looking for can you pm me with a description of where you got it from/who makes it and a pic

HTH...(hope that helps)

The stuff you're thinking of is crap and cheap... it is ducting for clothes dryers... this flog...

you want to go to a race store like revolution racegear and get some neoprene flexible tubing... it's expensive, but shits all over dryer ducting... you want this stuff

and since I'm feeling generous, I found you a link where you might be able to get it cheaper than a race shop... they charge like $80/m or something rediculous

Go here - Tyco Flow Control

Go to a piping/plumbing/irrigation store and get the same size hose, but in rubber with a wire reinforcment. I got this and it only cost me $50 for 3 metres, but unless you're in townsville i cant give you a specific shop to look in.

That stuf is nowhere near what im thinking of.

I was thinking more allong the lines of full alluminium.

Yeah that stuff that i was talking about is avaliable.

The big ''but'' is that i dont realy know if it i sealed because of the way it is made it has to be able to be bent into position therefore the aluminium cant be properly sealed.

It would be allright for an induction pipe.

I kinda looks like the outside of the bendable part of a microphone stand.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
