Go to a pull it yourself wrecker and browse. You'll be able to find what you are looking for cheap from something. I was looking for a 90mm OD hose to use on a Vitara AFM, which is a very uncommon size. Found one from a Mondeo - 90mm to 80mm 45˚ reducing bend - try and find that off the shelf.
Whilst silicone hose is very cool, it's also pretty expensive and unwarranted for a "regular" application. (i.e not under high boost etc)

I don't want to harp on but A) That's 63mm, not 60mm. That's going to be a mess when the OP tries to pull it down with a hose clamp - 10mm of circumference has to "squish up" somewhere. B) It's not clear what length the OP requires, but $33 is a lot to pay if he requires 50mm If you really want to buy new, try these guys: http://www.purplepig.com.au/www/home/But it looks like 63mm is as close as you are going to get. I'd start at a wreckers. Steve.

find your nearest ENZED dealer. Enzed/ Parker Hannifin corp. supply purple pig with most of their shit. so cutting out the middle man makes sense
