Its a good idea to use large bore fuel hose as it won't collapse once warm. I have used reinforced clear hose but it gets soft when hot. I intend to upgrade it when I have time.

The breather pipes are just that, they let the engine breath and gases can flow both ways down the vent tubes. A blocked or collapsed breather can be bad for the engine.

Also...a tip for when putting the foam on your car....

clean the i/c surface well (with brake cleaner of similar). Apply extra glue (lots of super glue will do) to the i/c. The foam stuff is already very sticky but I find it comes unstuck at high speeds. You'll need to then just layer one ontop of the other until you have a seal.
