Im trying to find some 2" silicon tubing for vibration isolation on my closed loop pumps. I cant seem to find larger than 1.5", Anyone know where I can get some? Id be looking for about 10 feet.
 
It looks like the only 2" they have has a 3/8" wall thickness. Is that what you got? How is it for vibration isolation?

Im currently using regular vinyl tubing that has a 1/4" wall and its barely better than flex PVC for vibrations.

It 100% solved all my issues here.
 
Watch the pressure rating on silicone tubing, you might want the thicker wall depending on the pump you are using.
 
I found the 2" stuff on ebay for MUCH less than Mcmaster. Ended up getting 3 meters of 50mm ID 60mm OD tubing. Should be here in a week or so.
