Engine dress-up

Anyone switched out their vac lines yet? I'm trying to see if there's any kits out that that anyone knows about, as I'd like all blue vacuum lines to match my theme.

I don’t always agree with the “R” word. It can be overdone that’s for sure. I changed mine because I wanted to give it some contrast under the hood.

Thanks.

The car will grab their attention before the engine does. If you want to keep the cops away, you shouldn't drive a car that attracts attention like an Evo .

They're platinum cured silicone hoses (that’s the type of silicone I guess).

They're all 4mm, except for a small section that's a 6mm (10” maybe). If you're planning on changing all the vacuum hoses make sure you have a boost controller or some sort of boost measuring mechanism since you will be removing the factory boost restrictor pill that’s on one of the lines.
