Air filter hose replacement help
I need to replace the tube from my air filter box to the plastic Y on my 94 f150 5.0. I can find the the Y pipe with the two hoses that go to the throttle body all day long, but not the single accordion one that attaches to it and the airbox, which I think is 3" but haven't measured. Mine is split and pulling in air. I know I can maybe find one at a JY but it will be 30 years old and probably as bad as the one I have. Nobody seems to have one, has anybody replaced theirs with a silicone one or something else that worked for you?

Pretty sure JY is it. Although they're pretty tough, you're the first I've heard of to tell of one splitting.
A replacement from there should suffice, maybe you could piece something aftermarket.

It split at the end where it slides over the plastic Y and not sealing there. I am looking at maybe using a 3 aluminum tube and use silicone connectors. Was hoping both ends were the same diameter but the Y end is 3" and the throttle body end is 3-1/4"
