I was looking to re-plumb my fx5 to increase the flow and efficiency . I was wondering if I should do it all PVC piping from the canister to the spraybar and intake (I will connect the output and input to the pvc pipe with clear tubing) or should I just run clear tubing from the fx5 to the spraybar and intake? And what size piping do I need?
Thanks for everyone’s help!

i replaced the dual outflow with a 1" hose barb x 90 degree elbow and it increased flow dramatically.
 
Changing the plumbing will not give any substantial increase in flow. I converted mine to Vinyl tubing and mine still flows 600 GPH.
