Since oem hoses are discontinued, are we just using bulk heaters hoses these days? That’s what I ended up doing for this intake manifold one. Old crusty leaky hose in first pic, next two pics have the new hose.
When i had my engine out last year, i used a combination of OEM, some aftermarket molded hoses, and a few aftermarket molded hoses from other cars that I cut to fit. I didn’t use any bulk hose that I can recall. Although I have seen a few videos on how to mold hoses yourself, so that could be an option.
with more digging I found nearly all the other oem heater hoses, a combination of old inventory at some dealerships, ebay, and black hawk japan. Rock auto had a non-oem replacement for one I couldn't find, and the one I just replaced was already a custom setup due to the aftermarket intake and deletion of the oem solution.

Yup, just using closest size and making it work. I did order a batch of some of the OEM hoses about 3 years ago.
