Default Breather Hose Alternative.

The left (drivers side) breather hose is damaged and needs to be replaced. I can find the right side one but the left I cannot find anywhere. I am not really interested in used unless it can really be determined that the quality and condition are good as they are some sort of plastic and get brittle over time. I have read that it is discouraged to replace with anything else since it is under vacuum and needs to be very sturdy to withstand the vacuum as well as heat and oil. Is there anyone who has replace them with success with anything else as I would be more inclined to do this if possible. Also if I can use another type of tubing would a larger diameter cause problems versus the OEM, since the alternative would be fitted around the connections versus inside. Thanks. Pic below just for reference.
