yeah, copper tubing will work. Ive seen some use heater hose, but it can probably freeze. Where are your solenoids mounted?

I used 1/8" copper tubing. you can get it from any parts house. It is typically used to plumb gauges. You can also get it in 3/16", but I prefer 1/8". It is easy to bend and there area wide assortment of compression fittings avaliable.

You can also use steel braided hose for plumbing, that is what I used. I think it is called "iceman" whatever, picked it up at a local plumbing shop.

True, was about the only thing I could use for my set-up. I have my purge coming out the scoop on my SS. So I needed something I could route up there, and copper tubing wouldn't cut it. I did use copper tubing from the entry into the scoop out to the honey comb. I recently got a dynotune purge thingie so gonna reroute everything seeing I will only need 1 line coming from the purge silenoid for a dual purge.

I just bought a 3/16" x30" section of copper brake line for my purge setup like an hour ago. It was like $2.20 with the end on both sides. Pretty cheap way!
