Just a feeler for making the hoses that many are cracked and broken, I know I have take 2 cars worth to make one good setup.
So obviously price is an issue, but assuming a reasonable price who could use a set? ($25 ish) If there's enough interest I will pursue these. |

Mark,
Check out a product called Copex, and my build thread. They do a perfect match on size and appearance to the Porsche drain hose. It's much tougher than the original, thicker walled, very flexible and durable. (The PVC version without internal wire, they do different types the soft thin wall is too easy to crush or kink/fold, I found the PVC slightly rubbery version works best and is fully smooth on the inside so water runs through without being held in the helix) Plus if you buy a 30m roll it works out about $1.50 a metre, so the cost per set for car airbox in the trunk would be around $3, or $5 if you included the drain hoses in the engine bay.
