Review on πŸ”§ Dorman 696-706 Engine Air Intake Hose: Versatile Black Replacement for Toyota Models by Michael Bustamante

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost Exact Replacement - Almost

Firstly if I were to keep the car for a long time I would choose a Toyota OEM part with a much higher quality / price. Their rubber products are as good as can be. However, we will be selling this machine for a year so durability was not a necessity. It fitted well (although a third hand would have been handy), but the hose nipple that connects directly to the valve cover wasn't the same diameter as the original. The difference was so big that we had to fiddle around and find a tube that was a little loose on one end and a little tight on the other end. Hose clamps helped us seal and run. It is possible that models from different years had different hose diameters and Dorman has a one stop solution.
