With E-SLA, you have freedom to use whatever hose you'd like. I replaced coolant and vacuum hoses with High-Performance Silicone Heater Hose. As I recall the hose for the intake manifold crossover was an odd size. Photos show thick wall hose used for this application. I sourced from HPS. Below is spec for tubing used for crossover and for coolant overflow tank...

HPS 1/4" ID Blue High Temp Reinforced Silicone Heater Hose Tubing, 6mm

HPS 7/16" ID, 1 Foot Length, Silicone Straight Coupler Tube Hose, High Temp 4-ply Reinforced, Blue, 11mm ID
