It could be a hard material that is bendable or something that is stretchable like some kind of rubber or neoprene. < < <  One of my friends had a similar problem with his air intake. He came up with a very elegant solution : he made all the 'hosing' in glass but in spite of epoxy as a matrix binder he used ordinary RTV silicone, forced into the glass with a rubber squeegee. in a few hours he had the best custom made hose for his purpose, very flexible and very tight.
