Default Where to get some good hoses?

What autoparts store would you recommend for having
a better quality vacuum hose?

i'm going to pick up a bunch of hose of varying sizes today most likely,
so I figured I might as well see what you guys think.

I'm expecting a "they're all the same ****" reply,
but who knows, maybe someone has had a good experience with one place over another.

I dunno,
let me know.
thanks

go with napa or car quest, they are generally made of better quality rubber than auto zone or advanced auto, maybe even a hose or hydro shop, they may even be able to get different colors.

I just went to autozone & went in back & found the ones that were the clostest match. I had to dig pretty good to find the ones I needed though.

That would be perfect. Ask if you can go in the back and choose what you want. I do a lot of turbo setups and such so I just go to autozone and go in the back and buy the rolls of Goodridge vacuum lines and fuel/emissions lines in varying sizes. They should be on black cylindrical looking stands with blue stickers with goodridge on them. I've never had any leaks, cracks or splits to date
