I have hot side piping, but have been told it makes very little difference.

The stock piping is rubberish, so what it usually comes down to is how much more efficient aluminium/metal is as a heat conductor compared to the stock rubber, and it's expanding qualities. And yes, you can use the standard hot side piping.

check out some of the kits available for some inspiration.

I chopped up the cold side of my hybrid kit to create my hot side, so I already had most of the pipe and silicone....I just needed the 90deg bend and the reducer to make it work
