I recall reading something about silicone rubber exhaust tubes. They are

Looking for a distributor of 3" OD fiberglass exhaust tubing and elbows for an

@ $12/ft. Pacific northwest or a mail order shop would be great.

Thanks in advance.


I assume wet exhaust?

If so, check out Vetus (www.vetus.com). They have rubber hose designed for
wet exhaust (and lots of other goodies too!). I bought mine (2") from Steveston
Marine (www.stevestonmarine.com) for about $13CDN/ft.
