heh i think one end is larger than the other. i might be wrong though....
why dont you just bring your old one to an auto parts store and find a hose the right size? it does bend alot but id bet you can use a regular pieces of PCV hose with little problems.

It is $21.85 from Jeff Watson. It'll last ~10 years. The typical heater hose ghetto rig probably costs $1 and will last ~6 months since the oil will eat it. Auto parts stores don't normally carry oil rated hose that large. You could go out and get some -12 (or so, not sure that is the exact size) Aeroquip socketless hose that would hold up but, it would kinda defeat the spending less money on this hoopty idea since it comes in like 10' lengths for $50 minimum. Maybe go down to the local home heating oil company and see if they have anything you could use laying around...
I put a new one from toyota because like they ^^^^ said, bends, oil, longevity, etc,etc,etc.:biglaugh:
since thats all it costs from toyota its worth it to get the toyota replacement. but i must note that the autozone near me (new rochelle..) does carry large ID PCV hoses. so they are available for other things you may need (like power steering reservior lines)
lmao. my thoughts exactly.figgie said:oh just cut the ends off and weld -10 AN fittingsproblem solved
atp turbo sells oil hose -10an @ $8/ft... i got some for my pcv catch can setup... i know its kinda big but i want lots of flow.
