Charge Relief/Air Bypass Valve help
Hey guys, the 90 degree elbow coming off the back end of my charge relief valve is cracked as well as the hose that runs from the air bypass valve to the y-pipe. I have been looking for a few hours for the specs for these hoses so that I can either (a) replace them with factory hoses or (b) order new and improved hoses.
I have an order that I am ready to place for a 90 Degree 1.00" ID High Temp Silicone Elbow for the CRV fix (Guessing this is correct), but I have not been able to find a suitable hose replacement for the ABV. Can anyone please help me.
Also, In this order I've got (3) 3" straight silicon straight sections to replace the factory ones on y-pipe, intake, etc... (Are the 3" OD the correct size or are?)

Re:
Tried that and they cannot help me... Same for AAP too..
Is it just a rubber hose, or something more specialized? The problem is that I cannot seem to find any specs on the part other than its part #.

Yep, get the OEM part. They're not perfect, but they last a really long time. They'll also last much longer if you don't have the stock precat and have a ceramic coated downpipe. The precat just bakes those hoses like crazy.
They're not too pricey new either.

^^ exactly. If you get a random heater hose off the shelf you aren't aware of what the rubber content is. Some hoses will handle heat far better than others.
Really, at the end of the day, just get the stock hoses. No reason not to. They don't cost much, they fit perfect, and they will hold up a VERY long time. Considering your hoses are most likely the stock ORIGINAL hoses and now, 15 years later, they're failing, I think they did a great job. To paraphrase Yoda, "when you get this age, look good you will not."
I replaced mine within the first year of owning my FD (about 2005 or so) and mine are still soft, easy to remove and reinstall, and hold boost perfectly.
