Where can I buy new vacuum lines??

I just wondered if there was somewhere I could order new vacuum lines for my rex. Does anywhere make a set especially for our cars, like all cut to lenghts and bent correctly like stock?? I know a couple places sell silicone vacuum lines, but they are all just rolls of it, and all need cut and fitted, just wondered if there was a car-specific kit anywhere. I want silicone, preferably in some purty colors, but Im not picky, just want new ones. Thanks.

mazdatrix has what you need. it is not cut and not bent but it is silicon so it bends like spagheti. My intake took 8 feet to change all of the vacuum lines except for the lil ones on the celenoids. So 10 feet would do the whole thing, but the celenoid ones are dangerous; because you will break off all of the nipples and end-up paying a ton of money for new ones. So 8 feet and some wire snips and you're set. www.mazdatrix.com I think it's in the misc. parts section with all of the gasket sealer stuff and fluids. it's like $3.00 a foot

one nice thing about cutting yourself, is it can clean up the engine bay some for the ones around the engine, you can route them any way you like. esp if you have mods.

Ok, but what about the different size hoses?? Like that big *** one that goes from the BAC around the TB to the air intake?? Or the three right in front on top, by the idle mix screw, theres 3 vertically, and the one on top is larger, where car I get these? Thats why I was asking about a car-specific kit.

Go to Napa. They sell silicon vac hoses in packages of 6' for $10 each.

They have all the sizes as well. The hoses are orange just to let you know.

While you'r at it get a pair of bent tip long nose pliers. They make removing & installing the lines much easier.
