Gates 18999 is aftermarket one for 4th gen manual vtec - should fit 5th gen manual vtec.
I got my last two from Rock Auto USA you can also double check to see if there is a specific one for 5th gen
Cost was around £20 ish delivered i think..

This is the shaped hose that is connected to the side of the head just under the vtec solenoid round the back to the water gate thingy
