I have a star kit stage II. I have the kit for almost 3 years now. It's been really good to me. I was inspecting the engine bay yesterday and I found out that the hose elbow connector is cracking by the hose clamp! So where can I buy the hose connectors? Got any website I can go to and order it from there? What size do I need? Thank you...

I used a section of radiator hose with the same inside diameter as the elbow that had a 90* bend in it. Works fine so far.

Yep, same here, using 2" ID radiator hose cut into couplers. Works excellent, and no leaks at all. Find what ID you need, then go to the store and browse their hose selection for what you need, took me a little while to find what i needed..I was using some rubber PVC pipe couplings, but one had melted by the hose clamp when it just got too hot. It was the one by the head too. I wouldn't use that stuff if i were you, they break down rather quickly, and the hose clamps were always getting loose, because the clamp was thinning out the rubber after it got hot..
