wtb: air intake tube - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #90280 8 posts Started by ricochet1490
My rubber elbow tore. Anyone have one? I've got a 5s, just need something to work.
Sadly mines in my moms Camry. Lol. Should just get an upgrade with metal piping?

You can use black silicone to kind of patch it back together. I hear:

is supposed to work great for fixing rubber intake pieces.

^just hope it doesn't get sucked into the intake. I'd rather gorilla tape the crap out of it instead of using sealant.

How can it be sucked into the intake when it's bonding two pieces of rubber together? As long as you don't use half of the tube on it like a jackass you'll be ok. tongue.gif

...and don't turn the engine on when the glue is still wet!!

Reccomendations for other useable intakes that will still allow me to use my factory box?

You could use aluminum, would just have to measure out the angles of the factory intake tube so you'll know what to get. Would say silicone tubing, not sure where you'd find a good match though. Perhaps a silicone radiator hose for some mystery make and model. Or if you just don't care use the flexible plastic piping.
