Any updates.

I have a 3.2. Any updates? Has anyone replaced the AOS hard plastic accordion hoses with rubber or silicone? I broke the lower and can’t get a new one on without taking the entire top off. If the hose was flexible I could do it in minutes.

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.

I like that set up. What is the diameter and length of hose? Where did you source the hose?
