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:

But it looks like 63mm is as close as you are going to get.

I'd start at a wreckers.

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

what are you trying to acheve?
for mk2/3 u can use stock gti piping with air box mounted behind the drives headlight,
mk1 you can use some flexible 63mm hosing from autobarn.
