Default Purge Lines?

I have a 2000 ws6 and i am going to run two purge lines out the side vents behind the front tires. My question is what should i use for purge lines. I has to be bendable and not to big and it can't just be a rubber hose b/c i will blow that right open? Please help.

Ummm how is that going to ket you know all the air is out of the line if you can't see it? But you can go to your local parts store and just use brake line cut and bend to fit.

I did mine that way. Copper tubing is the way to go. Brake line is to much trouble to bend. Search for "side cove purge video" and check out my set-up.

I used a some tubing bought at home depot just a clear tube nothing special and routed it out of the scoops on my friends cobra hood. We just clamped it to the copper line coming out of the purge noid and then ran it to where we wanted it.
