Default Blow down tube

I got like an 8 inch blow down tube and its not long enough. What can i use instead of it. i tried rubber windshield wiper fluid hose and it just froze and broke. Any ideas or where can i get a bigger tube or what i can use?

I just used the thick rubber vaccum tubing. Similar to what you would use for a PCV valve.

I got it a little thinker than the actual tube, but not much thicker. Can't remember the exact diameter but I can always check when I get back to the car (at work now.) I made sure it was a very tight fit though. And then I just placed it over the original tube and pushed it a few inches up the tube. I used a hose clamp to make sure it stayed in place.
