And to that list I add Keith and Bruce at Audiconnection, and Greg at 
Spokane Hose.

I'd say now that you have your car drivable, send the other to spokane hose 
and let them rebuild it. I'm pretty sure they reuse the restrictor. I've had 
them do two 5000's and a V8, and no groaning. They also put swivel ends on 
for a LOT easier instilation. The rack end unscrewed is about 5" long. 
HMMMM, already sounds better than factory. They are also fairly cheap, IMO. 
All the hoses for the V8 were under $125 not including shipping. Not bad 
when one from the dealer excedes twice that figure.

When you are all fixed up, you can send the one back and get your money 
back.
