Suggestions for intake tubing for 3.5

I found a hole in my ghetto intake tubing yesterday and now trying to find a way to fix it quick. Unforuntely I do not have time or money to wait for an intake kit.

Anybody have any good ideas on what I could buy locally that would work in the meantime?

Would a exhaust shop carry 3in tube?

What about Home Depot or Lowes?

Autozone sells 2ft sections of 3 in. piping. Perfect for making an intake.

I hacked up the stock tube already, so that won't work.

I have been using aluminum dryer tube. Its very flexible, but not very good for long term use.

The autozone idea sounds great, I will check that out.

It would look like crap but you can also use pvc tubing, like from Lowes or Home depot. <--- thats ghetto, but it works!

I got the "piece together" kit at autozone for roughly $40

MUCH better than before. Removing the resonator makes it sound so much better.

Plastic tubes and couplers ran me about $25, not bad.
