When i bring my car in for some installations i want to replace my vacuum lines and was wondering what vacuum lines everyone is using?

No, those parts don't touch the vacuum system. If you haven't it might be a good idea because the OEM lines are brittle. I believe the size is 5/32" and you can get some at AutoZone.

If you haven't done it yet it's not a bad idea. The OEM lines are crap. Some of mine rotted, creating a leak at 20,000 miles.

Yeah i just hit 40k miles and figure its one of those things that cant hurt changing them, do you know how many feet i would need? I believe i read something along the lines of 10-15 feet to be safe

I bought something like 50 feet because it's cheap and I wanted extra. (which I had plenty of)
