Where did you get that from?

Oooh, Careful!
The OE hose has much more flex built into it than that one, you run the risk of either pulling the new hose off of either end, or pulling your air cleaner box apart, or pulling your AF meter out of the housing. Something's gonna give.
The engine moves substantially left to right under hard accel or decel. If you want to test it, have a friend do a stall test (Shifter in D-range, foot hard on the brake, parking brake ON, throttle wide open briefly - stand to the left or right of the engine room - DO NOT STAND in front of the car!). Watch it move and then decide if it will work OK or not.
...just sayin'.

Well the orange parts are silicone I believe so there will be some give at each end but you will find out if it's enough or not hopefully in your driveway.
i think it looks good. only time will tell if it's a problem. i think i'll do the same when my hose starts to crack.

Yes, the silicone end will give enough movement. The parts are from Pepboys, you buy the individual parts and you custome fit it to your vehicle. So fare it has not given me any problem. Since I've put this on my truck it has ran like new. All this time I thought my tranny was going out on me, now the tranny shift when it is suppose to. After a year of driving around with a crack on my intake hose that I didn't know, this was an easy fix.
What was your total cost on this?
Yeah did they same to mine about 3 yrs ago when the Original cracked while I was on a road trip. No yoda dealers around for many many miles so i went to vatozone and picked up the bling tube and two silicone couplers (blue) that were bundled together: ~ $25 in the accessories section I recall with all the other dress up and chrome stuff. Works great for me.
Yeah but isn't there a sensor that plugs into the stock housing? What did you guys do about that?

There is no sensor to connect to the hose.
What is all the plumbing above your heat shield?SDTLC80 said:

That's the infamous PAIR valve, standard on '93-'94 models. Not used '95+.
It's an emission reducer that wasn't carried over with the powertrain UPGRADE
of the newer versions.

Thanks answering that, because I have no idea what that plumbbing does.
LX_TREME, now that is one clean engine bay you got there. Comparing to mine of course.
