You might try a large truck repair place, see if they have some radiator
hose in the size/shape you need.  I needed something like that for the
modified air intake on my 4x4.  I had been using a flexible dryer vent
hose for a few years, it would last about a year before spliting, then I
finally found something that works.  Used some large ID radiator hose
(from McMaster-Carr) and a PVC pipe fitting:

So far its held up fine.
