That question suddenly popped into my mind. I checked the Mass Effect Wiki and couldn't find anything. Am I correct in assuming that they use feeding tubes of some kind?

Emergency induction ports Serious note, i assumed tubes that get filtered, checked for bad things, filtered again then given to the quarian.

I imagine it goes through one or two filters in their masks or is like a air lock where one hatch opens and then closes then an inner one does the same.

Based on current IRL tech, my guess would be that after some sort of sealed introduction to the suit system (as others have suggested, like an airlock), that it is first exposed to low levels of non-persistent radiation to kill micro-organisms and then in some manner purified, to remove other contaminants which might result in allergic reaction. Depending on the how cautious the quarians are, this process could be performed multiple times to be certain that a higher amount of contaminants have been removed. Given Tali's comments on the Normandy in ME3, it seems that they also have methods of purifying liquids which take place outside the suit, as the "turian brandy, triple filtered" is in a glass, and she is using an "emergency induction straw... port... whatever" to drink from the glass.

Looks like you were all right. I read in one of the Mass Effect novels that there is a sealable feeding tube on the underside of their helmet.

But... how do Quarians poop?

If a quarian is on one of their own ships, they utilize clean rooms. But if not, or unable to reach a bathroom, there are compartments built into the suits for storing that stuff until they can safely dispose of it. So, in essence, they use colostomy bags.
