How much to replace Vacuum lines?

If I were to get all new vacuum lines, how much would that cost approximately (at a shop)?

Do it yourself, not hard, just get the right diameter and cut it to the lenght of your old ones. Pull off old one, cut to size, put on new one. Only a couple cents a foot.

there's a lot of vacuum lines.. just buy 15 ft or so of tubing. pull one line off and cut the new piece to length. replace it. pull the next one off. keep going until you've got new hose on eveything. it's not rocket science.

If you use the colored stuff, make sure its thick. The cheap stuff is thin and when it gets hot it with collapse under pressure.

you buy a service manual or look on the stickers on the underside of your hood.

Other than maxmizd27's site, where's the best place to buy the tubing... also anybody know the diameter for vacuum hoses on a 92 SE? I'm much too lazy to measure... that and I suck at measuring things... it's really pathetic.

Hose Techniques isn't my site. It's just the brand of hoses I used. I meant to look at my home page to see what you can do to a 3rd gen with them. I actually had 2 kits. Sorry for the confusion.
