crystalworks is on a distinguished road
You should be able to replace it with any standard vac hose. I usually just take it to Oreilly's and buy 5ft of whatever size hose I need so I have some in the future as well. The only exception being the molded vacuum hoses... I try to buy those OEM if I can because if one part was brittle... chances are the rest of it is also.

Actually I just today replaced a ~1ft section of vac hose going from intake manifold to fuel pressure regulator on my 87 325 BMW. So having the extra hose lying around helps... but then again I am maintaining 5 bimmers atm so you may not get as much use out of the extras as I do.

edit: btw, did you have mice living in the back of your engine bay at some point? Looks like a nest on your pic.
