just get some silicone vacuum hose.. thats what i did when i found that mine was broken. any replacement you'll find will be made out of the same shitty material and might just break again.

LOL, seriously last week or the week before I joked that there was a thread about this every week.

Honestly I don't think I'd ever recommend someone to replace the PCV hoses with the OEM plastic. The plastic is far too thin and way too fragile. Even cheap rubber heater hose would be superior, so I'd go that route if you want to save cash and not have to worry about it for another decade.

I replaced mine with red silicone hose and a CF catch can for less than the price to buy all the oem pieces.
