Where do you even buy this nowadays? I'm looking for a flexible one that can be use with a 140mm intake fan.
 
What length do you need? What do you want to do with it? I think the normal flexible duct from Home Depot, Lowes and similar is 4" (100mm) .. like is commonly used for dryer ducting. 140mm is about 5.5". The closest common venting duct size is 6" / 150mm, but I don't remember ever seeing it is flex duct. Also keep in mind flex ducting is rather restrictive because the un-smooth surface creates turbulence and slows down the airflow.

8 inches maxed is what I'm looking for.
 
are you looking for a pc specific internal duct or something? a little idea of what your doing could help...
 
Yeah it's for internal use inside a case.

It looks like something like this:

Could you possibly use a rigid duct fitting? Maybe 2x 45 degree pieces or a 90 degree one?
This is 6" plastic vent ducting available on ebay here

so, off topic here, but what happened to frank??? i have seen you on several posts, and I have been curious.
frank was my frankenstein'd system that died a few months back. i think i push it too far with my oc. i had it up to 4.8 on my h110i and it seemed to be fine for 6 months or so and then it started acting weird, random bsod and sudden power offs or hard locks. then one day he wouldn't power up any more. narrowed it down to the mobo and cpu, mobo has a big scorched area on the back behind the vrms and the cpu doesn't seem to work in a new mobo either. i was sad :( so I'm limping along on an old c2d system with only 4gb and my 280x jammed in it...
