Cracked Rubber Hoses / Replacements
Hello once again folks! After finally getting back under the hood, I realize the poor condition in which my old, stiff AF rubbber hoses are. Does someone know a reputable source that may sell a nice set of silicone hoses, and whether or not silicone is the right way to go. I want something that's durable and wont crack my TPCV again.

What hoses are you talking about? There's a lot of damn hoses. I also have no idea what "AF" rubber hoses are, and what a TPCV is.
All coolant hoses, get from Mazda. Vacuum line, replace with silicone. Hoses going to the two blow-off valves, silicone.

Silicone Vacuum Hose | Silicone Vacuum Tubing | Silicone Couplers - Flex Technologies
except I wouldn't know the dimensions and lengths of a full stock swap.

I get my hose now from boostcontroller.com - get the 3.5mm and 6mm vacuum hose. Thick wall, quality, and reasonably priced.
I've ordered from them multiple times and have used their hose on a number of FD's, it's the way to go.

All the smaller hoses (including the BOV hoses) are 3.5mm.
I typically get 20 feet of 3.5mm and 10 feet of 6mm. You will have some extra, but it's good to have some extra.

Sorry, I meant the big hoses (maybe 1" or so) that run from the pipes to the valves then to the intakes. Mine are toasted and broke off like plastic. What should I do for those?

I think its either 3/4 or 1"...it will be close to one of those, then you have your answer
Many types of hose will be fine for that job. Silicone is not required.

I've already documented this -

Silicone replacement for the 3/4" or so BOV hoses. Been using them for a while now, work great and hold up great.
