It is the hose kit from Akimoto. www.summitracing.com sells it for about $29 bucks.

The wire looms are from Taylor, and are a MAJOR PAIN IN THE AZZ!!!! The wire looms took the longest by far. Each loom was about 1/2 hour to get the old loom off, and get the new on on. Total, it was probably just 10 hours to do the wire looms, and they are not all done yet. The wire looms were about $8 bucks a pack and I got 4 packs. One for 1/4' one for 3/8's, one for 1/2" and one for 3/4".

I still need about another 2 packs of the 3/4" and one more pack of the 1/4" to finish it off.

You can find pics of my engine bay an ugly "short" intake (due to rain) at www.random.onlineshowoff.com

The "loom" is the red colored plastic covering that goes over all the wiring. It is a MAJOR PITA to install. It is full tubing with a slit cut in one side so you can tuck the wires into the looming materal. You then need to tape the loom at intervals to keep it from splitting back open and spitting your wires out! I found red electrical tape to match the red looms.
