This (obviously) is my F-hose, for those of you with MY 2000, there is no way you'd ever see/find this tear without taking it off. The only reason to take it off is to replace it. It is a pain in the nuts to work on this hose.

Putting a good hose on has gotten rid of my flat feeling at 4k + rpm.

There is nothing better and less expensive than the HomeDepot speed shop's F-Hose replacement kit.

I was tired of replacing that damn thing and did the HD deal right before he posted that.

Didn't you notice oil or dirt in the area or doesn't it blow oil?

Default Another F-hose bites the dust. I have a Samco on now after taking out 2 OEM hoses...we'll see how
it holds up. I got it free so I'm not complaining....down the road I might have to do the Home Depot deal if this one fails.
