Is this correct? (Vacuum hoses)

I was lookng at this picture on the RRM website of the colored hose kit. Are the 2 hoses pointed to attached correctly or should they be switched? I swear they are switched on my car...

honestly, i doubt he has any of them switched, cause first of all, the way the hoses are cut and formed, they only fit one way. secondly, if you switched them, you would be having some engine problems most likely

when i put in my IM and TB, i thought i would have problems with the hoses and where they go, but it was cake to place them back on

I was thinking the same thing. It looks like one arrow is pointing to the throttle cable and one to a vacuum hose. The other possibility would show two different sizes of hoses, so either way I don't see how they could be switched. You're fine, unless the check engine light is coming on.

I know which one is the throttle cable..I am pointing to the vacuum line that goes from the side of the intake manifold and i was an idiot and had mine switched.... Yes the car still ran (like crap...this being a MAJOR factor in my stumbling at WOT...), no the cruise control didn't work...
Thanks guys...
