Throttle body rubber hose

There is one rubber hose on the throttle body on the pass side that makes a 180 degree turn and runs under the intake...I can't find anyone that carries this and standard hose kinks when making the turn. I can't find any generic hose that makes a 180 that fits either at my local parts shop.
Any pointers on where I can look ?

Re: Throttle body rubber hose

It's pretty popular to bypass that hose completely. beofre I bypassed it, I went to autozone and asked to see what coolant hoses they had and I ended up buying one that did a 180* bend and used that for a little while.

here's some info on the bypass,

Dayco 87662 makes a great tb bypass but your looking for a acdelco 14097S.

Re: Throttle body rubber hose

Thanks a ton guys, trying to do all I can to keep the car original even though I know it's not optimal. I'll hunt that part #, thanks again for the help. This hose is for some type of vacuum that I think is for the emissions canister. I checked that part and luckily that one survived , its def the emission hose to the canister that I need.

Re: Throttle body rubber hose

I think he is referring to that hard plastic line that runs to the charcoal canister on the drivers side. It has 2 rubber hose ends to connect to the TB and the canister. It runs under the air intake and behind the alternator. Try one of the guys on this board that junk 3rd gens, That would be your best bet. I really do not know where or if they even still make those things. I use a guy on here called KnightRider.
