Filler Pipe replacement alternative

So I found that my filler pipe has completely rusted through (just poked a hole through it with my finger). Is there an alternative to buying the OEM replacement? Some type of flex/vacuum hosing perhaps?

Also, the breather(?) pipe next to it has similar rust, can I use an alternative for that as well, or do I absolutely have to have the OEM replacement?

I assume your talking fuel filler pipe. as you have seen its just mild steel and therefore will rust. take your OEM out and take it to an exhaust shop and have them bend a piece of pipe to match, they can also do the same for the breather. and you are good to go. i would bet your gonna come away way cheaper than at the stealership. Good luck
 
Yeah, fuel filler pipe. I just hope I can get the pipes out without completely destroying them. I will check with some muffler shops. Are they likely to have the right size in stock? The breather tube or whatever it is seems pretty small for a muffler shop to have on hand.

Anyone know the correct sizes for both these pipes? Mine are so rusted I am not sure I will be able to measure it properly.

On another note, a while back I had a P0440 code on my CEL, I bet this is why, a leaky filler pipe. Hopefully once I get this fixed I will never see that code again.
