I have also fitted a 45 degree 2.5" turbomart hose as the old rubber piping was prone to collapsing itself and pinching itself (causing pinhole leaks)
Great thing about the OEM part is that it fits properly and has a bracket to releive stress on the throttle body join. This greatly reduces the wear on the oring, I have found aftermarket pipes without the bracket tend to wear out the oring and leak after a 12-24months.

Thanks Vince, my car is 2008, so I could do something similar, I'll have to think on it
