I am in the middle of a cobra intake install when I noticed one of my vacume lines is all rotted and cracked. What size is it so I know what to ask for at autozone. I also took a picture off of the FAQ with the fitting the vacume line connects to.

That ones prooly 1/4" ID.

take pcs of the hose and go to any parts store....for under 10.00 you can replace all the lines on the upper....

Ask for breather hose..its usually 3/8"....vacuum line is like 1/8" and others are like 1/4"...all I.D. dims...it should all be on reels....sold by the foot...cheap money for sure....

Best bet is to take a piece of the hose with you and they will get you the correct size and length you need.

I think thats the line that gonna feed the charcoal can solenoid??? Its gotta be 1/4"....youll be able to tell when you see it...2 ft is less than a buck.....get some other sizes to...its good to have around anyway...The stuff varies by wall thickness, so you really need to have a pc with you...

I go to Robbins Auto Supply for stuff like that, they got like 12 reels of sizes right at the counter...
