Default vacuum hoses

i am going to be replacing my vacuum hoses reeeally soon, and was wondering if the only place that i could get them is online at places like ecs tuning, or is there a fairly common parts store (like napa or autozone) where i can buy them in person.

you can get the stuff on the cheap at AutoZone or Advance as far as i know. Dunno about the size of the stuff, I thought all vac lines were the same size?

Most of what you want is 3.5mm. I got mine from http://www.hosetechniques.com/ but there are lots of places that you can go. I got a bunch of fuel injector clamps, the kind that don't bite into the hose with teeth. I don't know how people can trust using this stuff without clamps.
