Thick-wall silicone vac hose

[tekdeus]

Anyone know where to buy this silicone vac hose with the super-thick walls? This pic is of a 3mm inner diameter, and 9mm O.D. hose. They grip hard, are very tough, don't kink on tight bends, and flexible enough to use on both small and medium sized fittings. My car came with a couple of these, and I bought some Vibrant brand silicone hose to do the rest of my vac lines, but the smaller sizes kink on tight bends.

Hosetechniques has this hose... http://hosetechniques.com/

Left side is HT hose... right side is purosil

I've been running their hose since 1998 I think.

+1 for hose techniques, it's actual good silicone hose =) A lot of the cheap silicone hose isn't that good, I had a length of ebay hose that somehow tore itself vibrating against the sides of the AFM

im starting to dislike the colored silicone hoses...
your local parts store should carry vacuum hoses with some thick walls, or if you can get "emission rated" and its usually pretty tough stuff. but i dont know if they make it in 3mm...

Are you sure? I only see 3.5mm ID, and they don't list the thickness of the wall. The hose have is 3mm ID, 9mm OD.

Hose Tech makes a nice product. I've seen them on cars 5 years later and still like new.

This ^^^ is true. I've been running mine since 1998. Every once in a while I just take some cleaning solution on a rag and wipe down the hoses and they look like the day I put them on the car.
