Here's mine (below). I used clear, and put the large loop in it to hopefully catch any liquid oil that would otherwise cause the dreaded "smoke bomb" at the track. If I pop the hood and see oil int he loop, it's a very easy task to remove it, drain it / wipe it out and reinstall it.
The first effort was simply a nylon-braided-reinforced hose.... but once it was warm, it collapsed under the vacuum. This is a wire-reinforced hose and seems to be holding quite well.
