I am not going to say it is better, because I really don't know, but I replaced some of mine with rubber vacuum hose instead of the plastic hoses. My friend/mechanic suggested it and the are working out just fine.

Anyone interested, found a great kit here on ebay!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/87-9...002QQitemZ120119020594QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

It doesnt look like it comes with (Or does it????) the Few that come off of the thing that the EGR Valve vacuum line comes off of. The vacuum tree type thing that has the 4 plastics ones on it on the passenger side of the engine bay near the firewall. What size are these, and how can i replace them?

I have been watching that auction come and go but was waiting for a guinea pig to post their experience first. Silicone is good stuff as long as it is stiff enough and these look think walled enough to support decent vacuum.

That's not your oil filler ... it's your power steering filler .....

Do you have a vacuum gauge... the one thing I wish I did before replacing all my vacuum lines was take a reading before and after to see if the vacuum improves... I'm sure it helped me... not surging as bad... idles nice
