i'm very hurt.

i will try the depot.
the outer foam on mine is starting to deteriotate a little.
i figure the inside is likely the same.

nope...however I have no idea where zero got his info about it having to be silicone based.


Seriously...go to Home Depot...go to the plumbing section...ask for a 2.5 inch wide rubber extension.

Stop typing now and go spend $4. (guesstimate)

Are you guys BLIND?!

I don't know how easier anyone can interpret that! That is a STRAIGHT 2.5 inch wide hose that's 2 inches LONG. This is EXACTLY what you are asking for!!!!!!
