Replacing Stock bov/bpv Pipe

I'm finally installing the bolt ons I've been collecting for the last couple of months (ETS V2 exhaust, Injen intake and UICP, ETS LICP, AEM wideband and Depo boost gauges, and a Cobb AP). I've been looking to see if anyone fabricates a bov/bpv pipe to replace the stock hose. I'm replacing all other hoses and would like to also replace this with metal piping, but I can't seem to find anyone that makes them. Through searching, looks like ARC used to make one, but have discontinued it, and Cobb currently makes one, but only sells it with their complete intercooler piping kit. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Can I ask why you want metal piping over the regular hose?

I'm not expecting any HP gains, I just want it for cosmetic reasons. I want my engine bay to just look clean and match

I've seen the pipes on eBay, I just wasn't too sure abut the fitment of those. Anyone have any experience with the eBay bov pipe?

Lol yea I was planning on being honest about the situation. I called and unfortunately, the piece will have holes on top of the pipe where the cobb logo gets screwed in to. I'm thinking I'll try the ebay pipes and see how they fit. I think they are only like 100 bucks or so. On a side note, I installed my intake and intercooler piping this passed weekend. I couldn't be happier with the results. Feels great and sounds amazing! This coming up weekend I'll be putting my exhaust in.

I didn't really get a straight answer. Once they told me the holes would be there, I kind of told them that wasn't what I was looking for.

Weapon R is another vendor who sells the pipe, but only with the full intercooler piping kit. To sell it separately, they told me the wanted 400 even though the full kit is 550. That is outrageous, it should be 150 max. So it's settled, I'm ordering the eBay version and I'll let everyone know how it turns out. The only thing I don't like about this kit is that the piping is two pieces versus one long pipe.

I have an Autobarn88 bov pipe on my RA, bought it off ebay for about $100 and it fits well and looks just like the link above.
