OK, so 32131137413 is the correct part number for the pipe that goes along the 325iX rack.

Thank you very much for finding that part number. How did you do it? It's listed on RealOEM for the 325ix application but the diagram is all wrong so I had hit a wall until I found this thread. Now to see if there are any more in the parts pipeline (ha ha). Mine blew out up near the ports for the pressure and return fittings on the input shaft. I don't know if was chafing a bit against the banjo fitting or if it was just thirty years of corrosion that did it in. I ended up laying under the front of the car in a puddle of melting ice on Lake George in NY so that I could remove the belt and save the pump. I was doing some very spirited steering while ice racing and I would assume the extra pressure spikes were all it took to open up a pinhole. I'd driven 500 miles to get there the day before the race and it wasn't leaking then.

Ancient thread- but I was replacing my 88 iX rack and damaged this pipe. Finding this thread was awesome- like the above post, the RealOEM diagram is very wrong. Thank you!

I'm glad it worked out! It was so frustrating to find that part.
