Default Where to get 1/2" inside dia. QUALITY hose? Need ASAP for f-hose replacement.

My car is torn apart and my well-meaning brother brings me 1/2" I.D. automotive hose from Autozone that is really flimsy. He said the fellow at Autozone said it is the only type they carry in that size and referred to it as "heater hose". I need something better (or do I?) and I need it quick. Any help is appreciated.

What is your intended use for it? Heater hose is tough stuff!

Default Just doing the Home Depot f-hose job. Stocker is annihilated. From STFA, pics show...

...more quality-looking hose used. Do you think heater hose can hold boost over time?

Default The 1/2" heater hose I got from NAPA is very heavy duty.

You'll probably be fine with whatever you have now though.
