I got mine from bakerprecision.com. Their hoses are good, but their customer serives was below average.

Others use the Hose Techniques kits. I personally think they are overpriced.

yeah I would suggest if you are going to be changing all your lines and don't want to do it again at least go for the silicone hoses so that in a few years your not doing it all over again.

I got mine from www.Mazdatrix.com. I kept everything stock, so I bought 20ft, and only have 1ft left. I redid all the vacuum lines in red, because, a: it looks hot, and 2: it's easy to tell what you've replaced, and what's left to replace. I recommend doing ALL of the vacuum lines at once. Don't forget the oil injector lines under the UIM.

Got my silicone hose from Road Race Engineering. Very high quality stuff, no fading or getting hard like the cheap "silicone" kits. http://www.roadraceengineering.com/hoseandclamps.htm scroll down

You ither need a large OD 1/8thin vac line or reinforced silicon. vikadin is exspensive.

Or what you can do is go to the local hose shop and get some 1/8th ID water hose. It is clear with a slight blue wraping in it and reinforced. It is super strong and will work. 6ft costs $3
