Is this hose any good for replacing breather pipe?

some have mentioned getting 19mm silicone pipe and t-piece to replace the breather pipe.
when you take away the "performance" aspect and range of colours it usually gets a bit cheaper (i hope)

Yeah be fine

i tried but its not flexible enough. i broke the lower breather pipe in the process, very brittle

People use plastic t's/ 45 deg bends rather than trying to bend the pipe.

you are best off using some silicone instead. Even if you got the rubber hose to fit then it would just break again silicone is much more durable.

i've got a t-piece but it's a very solid pipe and difficult to angle down to the lower breather. i've made it work for now by using a bit of the older pipe that was more flexible. silicone is the way forward, but tempted to get the proper stuff from creation seeing as i also have to replace the lower breather pipe now as well. it split all the way up the side when i twisted it!

ok maybe one more shot at doing it on the cheap

Agreed... did all mine for about £100 ... well worth it as can fit and forget... also cleaned the PCV out at the same time.

Also looks nice ...

Does anybody know here you can get the lower breather pipe from as mine has split in two places? Also could this cause a slight bit of hesitation?
