I'm sure it's a pre heat pipe, which draws in warm air. Try Cotswold on here under the for sale section.

It’s just foil duct piping, you could buy OEM or you could just buy some 60mm ducting for a 1/4 price. I bought some black pipe from EBay the other week -

OEM is a better quality and longer lasting and is only a quid more.
