Where can someone get a replacement EGR Vacuum line like the one pictured? I know Rodney Dickman has stainless steal replacements. But I only need the one line and his are expensive. If I really cared about my engine this would be the way to go. But I just need it to turn off the CEL. Thanks.

If you don't care about OEM looks, why not just get a piece of metal line from your local auto store and make one? Could paint it black if you want it to match.
Line is cheap and so is a little hand bender.
EDIT: Im sure Ed Parks has one if you dont like the DIY idea.

Well I guess I didn't think about the fact that it would be easy to bend your own.
RCW I was under the impression that the hard plastic was preformed and aftermarket hoses would have the "all over the place look". I'm just trying to keep my formula stock as posible.
I do like the metal tube idea unless there is a way of forming hard plastic, or buying an original peice in good condition. I guess I should ask in the mall forums.
Yeah... that line is super brittle. When mine snapped, I took it with me to NAPA and found a perfect replacement for it base off inner/outer diameter, cut to custom length. If you want to go all out, get Rodney's aluminum vacuum line replacement kit; not cheap but very worth it. You can get by for a bit with duct tape.

You can form the plastic with a little help from a heat gun. I have done this before but you do need to be carefull. The metal lines are way easier though.
The stainless lines are by far the best way to go.
All depends on what look you are going for.

I found this at Autozone. It's hard plastic, but not so brittle you can't bend it a little. Using a heat gun makes it a snap. Got about 4 ft for about $5.00 They have a couple different diameters as well.
