    My 98 GTP has all this old brittle plastic vacuum line from the bypass valve to the MAP, is it safe to replace it all with rubber line and new Ts as needed?

    Absolutely. And if you ever want to have original stuff again, GM sells a vacuum kit that includes all lines and fittings.

    Awesome. The T at the LIM broke and I know what aged plastic line does, break. Not much else.

    Yeah mine broke long ago. I now have a plastic T with rubber lines in its place.

    How you figure $70 from the dealer, I just bought one today and it's $16 for a brand new one, I'll sell it to you for $30. Part #24508742

    When mine broke this winter, it was $38 from the dealer. You two are literally on opposite ends of the country, prices will vary.

    Fortunately I declined, and paid $1 for the rubber line at O'Reilly
