Where my hoses at?

I've been attempting to hunt down the cause of my rough idle for some time now and have checked all of my vacuum lines/hoses repeatedly with carb cleaner and found nothing. One thing that I HAVE noticed though, is the fact that some of these hoses look like they've NEVER been replaced, and in my paranoia in dealing with my idle issue I am tempted to just say F-it and replace ALL of the hoses pertaining to the vacuum system and I wanted to know if anyone has ever done it and, if so, where they found the hoses, because I can't even begin to imagine the reaming that Subaru would try to give me price-wise on OEM's. Anyone have any experience with this?

You can replace some with off the shelf hoses but some of them are formed and are best replaced by OEM parts. Just look them up in the parts catalog you can download off this site and enter the part numbers to 1stsubaruparts.com and order them there. They'll be like half the price of the dealer.

For the non-formed hit up a real auto parts store like a Carquest or NAPA, they have them by the foot and reasonably cheap.
