Default Replacing Vacuum Hoses

I want to replace the now-frail stock vacuum hoses with the nice silicone ones you can get online. Problem is, I don't know what widths I would need, and how much of each width to get. Can anyone help me out? Even a rough estimate (on the length, not the width :P) would do. In return, I'll post before/after pics in case someone else is thinking of doing this.

I've searched and found nothing.

Edit: just noticed that the search feature is not working, haha, guess that explains my lack of results.

Are you talking about the regular cloth vac hoses with the rubber inside? If so just replace them with OEM stuff. its fairly simple and cheap.

Yep, those are the ones. I know it isn't difficult - I'm searching for how much of the hose to order.

3ft is long enough.
i got my vacume hoses from autozone, 3ft for something like $4.00
when you get there take one of your pipes off and take it in to them, they can match it up.
buy 4ft so you have some spare.

i bought some anodized blue and metal shrink meshing kit to put around my hoses to give them that "tuned" look and feel.
you can also buy that kit from autozone in blue, red or silver
