does it have a metal inner? or could it just be replaced with silicone hose?
 
^^ posted this before your reply...
 
will i get one straight from mazda?

[davehg]

as stated above it had a one way valve in it which creates pressure for your servo and brakes!

no mate silicone wont do as it will suck in when the engine is running cause of the vac pressure , suppose it has to be an OE part an then cover it in silicone for the effect

[JohnP]

ah blow it... i\'ll get it replaced and worry about tarting up later.
 
are there any other fatal pipes that normally deterriorate(sp) at the same time as this one?  and where is the best place for getting OEM parts for the RX?

[d-king]

pretty much the whole rats nest under th uim mate lol all this is due to the engine running hotter than the nose cone of an space shuttle on re-entry :0) try any of the vendors above ^^^^^

[JohnP]
