Talking Redneck MK. II Project

Okay, I made a redneck intake from PVC pipe and installed it on my 30mm pumper. I wasn't really happy with PVC as a material as the pipe wall thickness eats away at space better used for airflow. Secondly, the size of the flexible couplings was bigger than I really needed (just need airtight not pressure sealed to 3 zillion psi of water pressure). So, I realize I'm probably late to the game as far as sourcing materials, but I found a company that will custom cut metals and plastics (pipe, tube, sheet) for what I consider reasonable prices and ordered some aluminum tubes to try out.

Tube A: 2" OD x 0.035" wall x 1.93" ID 6061-T6 aluminum 6" cut

Tube B: 1.875" OD x 0.058" wall x 1.759 ID 6061-T6 aluminum 6" cut

Price: about $30 with shipping.
I'll throw the link up if anyone is interested and they have an affiliate plan if Buggymaster has any interest in that.
