The hose specified for the car is the correct length, yes it is quite long, no idea why.
It was originally run under the battery tray and back to the pump. View attachment 1715357824
You're not worrying about original so this doesn't really matter.
Hey Alan......thanks for the info and picture. I have learned a long time ago if I think something is wrong it is usually me. I’ll keep the long hose as a spare or if I need space for the cold air intake. Thanks.
