where can I get flexible piping for an intake?

I can't fit a filter right on my turbo, so I'm wondering where can i get some flexible hoses/piping?

If you wanna go really ghetto you can go to Home Depot and buy some of the heating duct type piping, not sure how well thats gonna work though....as far as withstanding the engine bay temps.

Don't buy something flexible, you need rigid. I had radiator hose and ductape for my "test run". My car would be pulling hard then around 6500rpm would drop into vacuum from 5.5psi! the intake hose was collapsing and choking the turbo! no good. as soon as I fixed that the problem ceased.
