Default Silicone Hose for DV Vacuum

As above, does anyone know where I can buy this hose from. Its for the vacuum running from the HKS SSQV outlet to the manifold. The standard subaru one is too short to connect to the SQV so I want to buy some silicone pipe of the same diameter but of a longer length than the standard subaru pipe. Any help would be great

Halfords should stock vacuum hose for that diameter.

Just a question, 3mm is seriously tight, was it hard to push the tubing over the manifold outlet? Would the 4mm be a better option?

Also the wider the diameter the better the response. 3mm is too small IMO, just measure the ID of the pipe you're replacing and order that

Does it matter how wide it is? All I need it to do is fit over the exit from an HKS SSQV to the manifold. The current tube is too big, so I need the smaller diameter to go over the DV and the manifold outlet.

I forgot to mention that the diameter is the wrong size as well as being too short.

In that case I'd measure the OD of the smallest fitting (either the SSQV or the manifold takeoff) not including the barb and order that size and use jubilee clips.
