You know... specifically I was going to quiz you on my inquiry... but somehow I knew you'd chime in. I'm glad you did.

Since you've had the intake, sai and ps out... did never you say to yourself "I'm going to employ silicone/rubber."? Do you believe that it could be done with silicone/rubber tube/hose? isn't there an alternative to the hard line? Would it be terribly difficult to affix the new silicone/rubber to the connecting ends (once they've been sawed off the hard tube)?

Thank you.
