Default Where to buy clear hose?

Hey i was looking for the clear vacuum hoses that pople have in there cars that usually look nice. For example the one that goes from the PVC valve to intake. My smaller hoses for coolant are cracking and i need to replace them. Anyone know where to get these?

That clear tube is crap, it collapse under heat from the engine bay. Fuel line hose can take the heat and has never failed me yet.

Its probably a high temp tygon tubing. The only problem I see with that is it does discolor very easily.

For the breather to the intake arm I used some reinforced PVC hose from Home Depot... look for it in the plumbing section. No problems with it collasping.

For the small coolant hoses replace with fuel line hose... PVC won't last very long with the high heat and pressure of the engine coolant.
