Replacement type-s air intake section

I've used that stuff to repair split CV boots with no issues..

Yeah now look what car you have. It's a slippery slope, guys...

Thanks guys for all your help.
I am going to try source the OEM part first via h-tune or vtec direct. If neither can get hold of them i will make my own like @clarelude23 has said. Fingers crossed for OEM though

@BrokenSpring, have you had any luck? Mine is on its last legs too, there's cracks between the ribs and I'm worried that very soon it will no longer be air tight.

According to the Lings Parts web site, 17228-P5P-J00 (TUBE B, AIR FLOW) was £64.65 but is no longer available. So have you had any luck in sourcing a replacement?

Not yet no Still looking . H-Tune can't get them, waiting to see if vtec direct can get hold of one.

I did consider just using sealent but feels dirty.

Haha cause and effect..

Fair enough.. well, worst case scenario - I will be selling a complete Type-S intake - you could buy it as a spare

I might get a plain / basic silicone tube with a bend in it. Check out:

As you know, we've got a few clips on the sides to hold pipes and stuff. I'll cut around those (performing a wide local excision if you understand surgical talk) and will stick them onto the new tube.

is it not possible to get the 45 or 60 degree hose with a tiny pipe going out of it from factory?
Im sure ive seen a civic type r or bmw hose that looks remarkably simmilar?

Also if just making extra outlet ourselves how would you secure the small pipe going off to engine?

Drill a small hole in the new hose and stick on the extra bit from the original hose. Leave a border around it of maybe 1 or 2 cm (wide local excision) so the glue has got something to bond too.

Ooohhh sounds sexy
Aaah that makes sense now, drill hole -> stick pipe in -> sillacone sealant that suckah.
Are the hoses in the ebay links ok for the job do you think?
I will have to think long and hard on the colour scheme im setting off on..hmmm this will be the first bit of many of shiny new pipework.

I've only had a brief look on eBay, I'm sure there will be plenty suitable to choose from. I'll be getting a black hose. I'll have a more detailed look either next week or the week after.

I've made some measurements. The inside diameter of the hose needs top be 72mm at the throttle body and 79mm at the other end (dynamic chamber end). This might complicate matters. I dunno how stretchy these silicone hoses are.

Honda-Hardy used 76mm diameter which worked for him.
