    I looked around forever and I finally found a place called Gregs Distributing, now I live up in Canada so I'm not sure if they'll have any places down south.
    The stuff is really expensive, like it was a $120 for a foot of the stuff. Now they also had different quality stuff. When I made my powerpipe I bought a foot and a half of look alike stuff for $14.
    Good luck.

    it doesnt look exactly like the hose in the kit but it is just as good if not better. (hosetechniques) above makes great boost hoses. i ordered from them back when i had my 300zx twinturbo. i got all new boost hoses & they were great quality. im going to get some of these in red to replace my current boost hoses. these silicon style hoses are much more plyable & easier to work with than the ones that come with the kit!
