      why the big difference in price of intake hose?

      Hi, My intake hose (from the air filter box to the manifold) is cracked so I went on line in search of a new one. When I google it of course many options appear priced from $15.00 all the way up to $64.00. Can anyone tell me if there is that much of a difference in the quality of these hoses and what a good one SHOULD cost? Also, do they come with the PCV valve and whatever sensor is in the hose? Thank You.

      What is the year of your vehicle? I have a hose from the 2004-2008 brand new $20, just a FYI.

      Mine is an '04. Does it have the sensor and pcv valve already in it? Do you know what the sensor is for?

      Yes it does, The intake air temp sensor monitors the air temperature going into
      the engine, and sends the data to the engine management computer.
      The computer then adjusts fuel mixture to match some pre-set target
      values, using the air temp data as input. The idea is to keep the
      fuel mixture optimal in all driving conditions and climates.

      Yes, Mine would fit yours.
