My dealer is useless, Can someone do me a favor?

Ok, here's the story... When I installed my RB headers the other week, the rubber hose that goes from the cats back up to the 6 ports actuators rubbed up against the headers and kinda melted.

Well to fix the problem temporarily, I stole the hose off the other -SE in the garage while it's up for a suspension swap and went to the dealer to order a replacement.

I showed him the hose on the car, then he went to dig around on the microfiche to find that part. He thought he found it and ordered it for me, but when it came in it was the right shape, just about 1/10 scale

So I showed him again, he went back to the michfiche, and looked for it. After awhile he came back to me and said he can't find it and doesn't really have the time to look for it. Here have some zoom-zoom stickers to put on your car. Maybe if you come back some other time, I'll be less busy.

What the hell kinda of service is that?!?

Anyway, my favor request. Do any of you have a way to look up part #'s (like one of those CD's I see on ebay?) I need to find the part number for this hose to order from the yahoo. It's about 1" in dia and runs from the metal tube that connects to the cats, back up to the 6-port actuators (obviously on an -SE) I'd really appreciate it. I don't have the time to take off work to go down an F*ck around with this guy...

Dude, you could probably find a hose like that at a junkyard for $5. Or you could simply gut your cat or straight pipe it and use the airpump to activate your 6ports.

yeah, I could do something like that, but I still need to have the pipe functioning because I have to put all this crap back on for the yearly poke in the tailpipe... (Cat's already gone, I have the full RB streetport system. Jealous?)

As long as it isn't too much, it ain't worth my time to be rooting around in a junkyard (although that would be much more fun than work)

Not really, I fab'd my own long tube header for 1/4 of the price with good power results. And theres a bridgeport infront of it.

I still like mine though, and I got it used, so I didn't pay full price...

no bridgeport though. maybe a turbo someday...

Go Turbo and Bridgy. You'll at least get SOME low end and a little more up high!
