whats the breather for?
Most auto parts stores have Spectre stuff i made one for my saturn when i found a gaping hole in the intake tube....basicly just buy your parts stick them together the way you want to rout it and your done, yeah it's cromed pvc piping but it works
i think i spent a total of $40 that was with the tubing, filter and breather

the breather is there to replace the air line to the valve cover. it is part of the PCV system... Positive Crank Ventilation. it pulls fresh air into the valve cover and down thru the crank case to vent any blow by gasses back into the intake manifold, which is under vacuum. By venting these gasses back to be burned again, emissions are reduced and the oil is kept cleaner.
as for the original post, i deff recommend moving the filter higher. on my car do main and Piczo web site i have plans and pictures of the intake designs i have made. each a bit more complicated but there is a design for everyone in there. Flex tube is the easiest, but also least efficient. It also runs the risk of ripping and then you have unfiltered air that could allow debris in that could damage the engine.
a hard/ ridged tube not only is safer then flex, but will be smoother inside and allow better flow. its a WIN! WIN!! lol just thinking of the commercial on TV
