Brown heater pipe

[Orinoko]

Hi all,where is the best place to source the brown cardboard pipe that goes from the heat exchanger to the electric booster fan in the engine compartment.

or are there any alternatives.

Thanks

Pretty much any tubing of the same diameter will do the job. I'm not sure why Porsche used this stuff, I think it looks ugly. The same stuff used on the actual heat exchangers would do the job, orange instead of brown. Mind you it's not as rigid and might flop about a bit  Just backdate your heating and get rid of it all - much nicer.............

The replacement tubing is now black in finish. Available from Porsche, Type 911 etc. If you want to replicate the original brown card tubing, you can get it from any caravan spares supplier as it's used for heating systems in caravans apparently. Perfect match to the original.
