A generic hose that you suggest would be an interesting alternative. The problem is the flexible parts,the rigidity required to withstand the vacuum and the oil resistance,connector compatibility and....
Would be very interested to know your specific suggestion for a substitute for the OEM part .

I could not get it to route back trough on the passenger's side like normal. So what I did was open the firewall, route it trough on the driver's side and since the new tube was so flexible I just ran it towards the rear bumper, brought it up between the Air Oil Separator and the Air Intake and then ran it down to the fitting on the Air Oil Separator.

When it warms back up, I'll go back and do it the original way, but this is good enough for now.

Hey Kram, Many of the subscribers were left scratching their heads when you left the forum including myself. Your contribution to the 996TB 997T and 987 Airbox mod was one of the best I've seen. Welcome back. Sorry I don't have an answer to your Aos vent issue but I'm sure you'll figure it out. By the way are you going to end up getting a tune in your future?

Hey thanks. Yeah I will get a tune done once I get the headers, secondary cat delete pipes and Borla muffler installed. I'll probably end up going with Softronic as I talked with the guy personally and he seems really knowledgeable and very friendly. I told him what I wanted to do and he knew what to do on the tune. Price is high, but it does come with a Durametric compatible tool, which you can then use for other things with the Durametric software then just doing the flash, plus I sold my Durametric tool. The downside is it only allows one vehicle vin to be used.
