Air intake hose for Supercharger
My air intake hose has lots of holes in it and it needs replacement (connects the K&N Filter with the MAF). I have been to some online sites but they all sell more than what I need.
Does anyone has some extra hose laying around that has an OD of 3.75" and that is at least 7" long? If so I want to buy it.

Thought I might have a piece but I can't find it. You can buy it from McMaster-Carr by the foot. I believe this is what I use: 5285K112

Oh, I didn't see the minimum. I thought they sold it by the foot. I'm certain I bought 3 feet a couple of years ago. I see it says to order in 5 foot increments, but it gives a per foot rate and allows you to put 1 foot in your order cart. Odd.
Well, given that, why not order the hose type below it on that page? It says 1 foot order incremements and I think it would work as well, if not better.

I called my local Hose Specialty shop and they carry the marine hose with an 3.75" ID. I will pick a foot tomorrow for $19 :-).
Btw, the hose on the SC was old and in bad shape were the spiral metal cord came loose at each end. After replacing the seals/gaskets on the water bridge I wrapped the intake duct with black tape as a temporary fix. Last night I inspected all the fuel hoses and I noted the loose cord pierced a fuel line. I still had some hi pressure fuel hose from Roger so I replaced it immediately. Should I purchase at least one lottery ticket? Right?

Oh, you have the wire coil thin fabric hose that's flexible. I had that oriiginally as well. No wonder it wore out. The tubing I linked in McMaster-Carr is MUCH heavier and straight only. That's what I have on my car, using metal elbows to make and bends.

That is correct Bill, I believe it was the original ducting that came with Andy's SC. The hose that i boudht is similar to the Marine hose on the link that you send. Any of the hoses in that link is better than what I got now, hhehe. Thanks btw.
I will post some pics of the pierced hose when I get home.
