Replacing hard plastic valve cover breather hose?

I am trying to fit a Corksport Aluminum TIP in my 2009 speed3 with a Mazdaspeed brand 3” aluminum intake, which was previously modified before I got it used. The intake is a tight fit, but does fit in there. I am having some fitment issues with the hard plastic breather hose that goes from the valve cover to the intake. I can’t get t
The intake looks sick! I am having some fitment issues on my speed3 though. I can’t get the hose to fit!

I’ve tried rearranging the elbows in nearly every way I can think of with no luck.

Do you know if I can replace the breather hose with a rubber one of the same size, so I can twist it to fit? If so great! If not, what do I do??

Yes you can replace that hose, the corksport stage 2 Sri actually comes with a silicone hose to replace the valve cover breather hose.

Fantastic. I'll replace it with some heater hose or something similar and some hose clamps. I didn't realize the corksport came with a replacement for that pipe! I thought that was just the bypass hose they offered. I have the bypass hose from them, it's nice but is a real pain to get on!!

Worked like a charm! Now I can adjust my intake properly.
