You can use rubber hose that is rated for use as a fuel line.

asks the parts counter for coolant hose, it is different and has a mesh in the tube, but fuel line hose will work fine. honda hose is better quality though, it is light grey with an oil resistant coating, whereas autozone's is cheap as can be.

I just replaced the intake as well. I just bypassed the throttle body warmer (see other thread). I am still waiting to see if it was a dumb idea. I live in FL, though, so cold weather usually is not an issue.

Heat is an issue where you live, as well as for me. Why not try doing a search on the internet for these hoses? You've got me thinking as well.
