I am running a rubber sewer connector on my car right now. they are like $5 a pop with hose clamps on them. they don't take alot of boost though. for a little extra you can get them where they have a SS sleeve on them to keep them from blowing out under higher pressures. since they are solid rubber and have no reinforcing in them they will swell and inflate under boost. at low levels (like single digits) they will work. on a 20 psi motor you will just explode them. you get what you pay for kinda thing.
I have heard of people using large truck (semi) radaitor hose sections (from a wrecker or similar)

On a previous turbo project I used Large truck radiator hose. The local speed shop had a gates? catalog for radiator hoses and it had illustrations of the shape and diameters listed. Rad hoses are rated to higher pressures and have reinforcement strands in them plus they were pretty cheap. I think I was using 2 1/4" piping and got 3 bends from one hose. Thought I'd throw it out there.
