Im replacing that question mark shaped hose under the intake manifold on my S13 SR20, I found a hose that is the same at a local auto parts store, im trying to figure out which brand to use either Goodyear or Gates for an OE style hose. Im using samco silicone and Goodyear Hi miler silicone covered hose for everything else, but i cannot find anything other than a pre molded hose that will work for this and the OEM Nissan hose takes 4-8 weeks to get. So the question is which is better the Goodyear or the Gates hose?



Heres a pic just for fun http://i20.photobucket.com/alb...3.jpg

I cant find any specs on the goodyear or the gates one im trying to compare the burst pressure and the temperature it can take. I would be 100% fine with the OEM nissan hose but i cant get that for 2 months so i need to know which OE Replacement hose is the better quality.
