    Does anyone know where to get a vacuum hose kit for my 2000 grand prix GTP? I broke some of the vacuum lines, and I don't want to pay $84 for this.

    LOL, that crap is well, crap.

    Go to your local dealership and get the actual vac lines for no more than like 30 bucks or so.

    I purchased that kit on eBay 5 months ago and they are holding up good. Get rid of that hard plastic crap and go with the silicone ones.

    Silicone will work fine. I have mines with silicone and have no issues. The brass t's on zzp aren't anything spectacular. They are better but the plastic tees from your local auto store works fine.

    Carb cleaner works for finding leaks. Watch the idle or listen for changes in the idle as U spray around the vacuum hoses.

    I don't believe the 97 model has vacuum tees
