Default Flexible Charge Piping

Howdy Howdy Yall. I am looking for the guy who is using goodyear hoses as charge piping. I have been on various different hose manufacture's websites for the past couple days and every hose that would work can only be ordered in 75 ft rolls. I would like to find out what brand of hose he is using. I think I remember the car being a red EG. Hope someone sees this.

I have some big radiator hose in my setup, right on the comressor. Would you be able to pick through the stock room at an autoparts store and piece something together?

That could get pricey picking up multiple hoses to slap into one. Ive looked for some type of flexible pipe too but biggest I can find locally is 1.5"

i had a 1.75" flexible radiator hose from the compressor to the intercooler, and it is still being used on shanerv's setup. it cant flow that well, but for $12, it was fast and easy at the time.
