You can get both rubber and hard lines at any part store.
DO NOT replace hard plastic lines with rubber, hard plastic is used for a reason, usually because of heat. And get the right size, do not buy all one size. You can cause problems by not running the right size hose, if it is to small you restrict the air to much and the same with to big.

Some hard plastic lines are available at local Chevy dealers.

For example, after I broke the EGR line assembly I got an exact OEM replacement.

I got some hard line at a hose warehouse, the kind that has every kind of hose known to man. The guy at the counter gave me 3 or 4 feet for nothing.
