I bought a metre length of silicon pipe off ebay for £9 and cut it to size. Ya can use the original jubilee clips from ya existing pipes.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=290274754174

Reason for the new pipe is beacuase you need to replace the old main breather pipe,mainly cos the original breather is built into it, and its plastic

I've had no issues with it. The only issue i have ever had like that was when using silicon vaccum hosing for the old breather to inlet connection... that breathed the oil out of it! lol
