Default Clear intake tubing

Hey Guys,

Anyone know where I can get 3" clear intake tubing? The usual black, blue, orange ect. colors are there but I want to know if there is a company that makes it in clear.

Let me know.

Thank!

Thank you for the advice.

That is all hard plastic though. Need flexible silicone.

I have a nice MAF that is signed and I want to show off the signature.

Maybe you can email the guys that run siliconeintakes.com one of my friends used a bunch of stuff from them for his 22rte build. they might know if it is even possible. I am thinking you are probably not going to find optical quality clear in silicone. But maybe polyethylene or another plastic.

All of the large silicone intake hoses I've seen are multiple layers with fibers woven in between each layer. Even if they could make the silicone clear, the fibers would still show.
