hoses cracking in engine bay

I noticed that the hoses leading to and from the boost bypass silinoid(sp) are cracked really bad. All the other rubber and plastic under the hood is fine and has no signs of cracking.

Anyone else have this problem?

edit: the cracks are all over the hoses and this is no boost problems or codes.

Yeah, ***** just cheap vacuum line. Replace it with silicone for a permanent fix, or just remind me to bring some new hose to towers next week and I'll replace them for ya.

maybe I'll bring it to the dealer and bitch about the p0300 code that has come up since I got the car and they couldnt fix the 3 times I brought it to them. At leaast I'll get another 2+ years before they start to crack again

I'll swing by tomorrow on the way to work and bitch.

Oh and I took of my downpipe today. Nothing was left of the cat because it is floating around the back half of the exhaust and ratteling

Nice. I have a stock DP if you are looking for one.
