better air intake hoses on my 500E? ATTN: JimF

Hey guys, after looking at JimF's website for the 5000th time looking for updates I was looking at his pictures of his engine bay from the new no-touch tire car article. As I was looking I realize that Jim's air intake hoses are superior compared to mine. My air intake hoses are EXTREMELY bent up, beat up, barely staying on the airbox, I had called and talked to Phil about 4 days ago regarding getting new air-intake hoses for the car, but now that I see Jim's, I don't want to order basically the same ones I have now that are all bent, just not yet bent. Get what i'm trying to say? I feel if I just get the same hoses, they could end up easily bent again. Jim's look extremely stable. Heres a picture with mine:

and jim's:

Is it possible for someone to get me a part number on those hoses? And will they fit my 500E airbox? I hope so. Thanks guys! Btw, i would have inserted the img's into the post, but i'm on a java machine and getting all types of errors, someone can put them in their post if they want so people can compare easier
