I need to change out all my vacuum hoses on my FD because I'm getting 8-10mpg and its killing me since this is my DD. Anyone know a spot in Queens that sells good quality vacuum hoses in different sizes? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Not in Queens. I wouldn't go to any FD shops around there.
Order them up and have them next day delivery. No Autozone or places like that. Your asking for trouble with those crappy blue silicone hoses.

 

The speed shops in Queens usually don't have the hoses for sale. You can definitely get them at S and K Speed in Rockville Center.

I use the blue silicone ones, they come in black too. They work great for me.

Thanks alot Anthony, have you ever used the hoses from S-K Speed before? What kind of quality are they?

 

Yeah I have, they are good quality. They should never blow off. Stuff starting blowing off as you go up on boost so just wire tire the main ones, map sensor, fuel pressure regulator, wastegate etc...

I stopped by there earlier today and they didnt have any so I'll be ordering them online I guess. No hurry since I wanna go to the Palisades Mall meet with the car.

 

Most vacuum hoses are made of cheap/colorful silicone. I would only buy from a racing supply like bakerprecision or a specialized vendor like hightempsilicone.com

 

autozone?

 

That's exactly what I would avoid.

Unless you want to re-do your rats nest in 2 years.

 

wasnt suggeating was in fact saying stay away at all costs....

 

I think hightempsilicone went out of bussiness.

 

I PM'ed hightempsilicone and never got a response so I guess I'm going to have to check around for another place selling them. Ill try that baker place. Anyone know if they got a website that I can order from?

 

NM I found the bakerprecision site. I guess I'll be ordering 35ft of 4mm and 10ft of 6mm hose for my rats nest. Quick Q- Anyone know why silver and black costs so much more than blue and red hoses? Found it kind of strange.
