I'm not really interested in needing a tow because I tried to stretch a few more miles or a year out of a hose. In the cases where I'm too cheap to buy OEM, I'll match something up. Frequently there is a les expensive brand name molded hose that when cut will approximate the curves of OEM. Having a hose spring a leak usually indicates of PPM.
