What size airline is everyone using for their bagged trucks?

What are the advantages/disadvantages of using 3/8 or 1/2 lines and valves?

Also I had an idea that I'm not sure about. Could you use your exhaust as an air drier if you ran metal tubing instead of soft airline? Maybe somewhere in the air system wrap the metal airline around the exhaust pipes? If you heat the air it draws the air out,,,correct? The "wrap" would have to be far enough away from the rest of the components(valves,compressor) to keep from heating them up aswell due to heat transfer. I was thinking between the tank and compressor?

Thanks guys
