Dumb Question Thread - No Flaming Allowed

[PSUEng]

Looking to do a PS refresh soon and was shocked at the price of the Suction Hose - 32412229369. I see there is a URO part listed for a fraction of the part. Now I vowed to never put any URO parts on my car, but in this case would it be a terrible idea to cheap out on this?

$200!!! I replaced that along with the reservoir and feed hose for $250 in 2022! Wow. I'd consider running the URO, or call up a KOI parts house and see if you can have something fabricated. Surely another acceptable option exists. If I recall the hose material type is printed on the hose so that could be a starting point. The only thing you might run into is that, BMW click clamps may not fit. In that case, use a quality (ABA, or what FCP sells) worm drive clamp and it should be fine.
