I bought and installed a ford roush stage 2 pack ( throttle body, cai, and procal )and while changing my oil I accidentally broke the plastic 90° on the intake hose in between the throttle body and cai. The one that hooks up to the vac hoses. I've got it jb welded for now but it's got to be replaced. Can anyone tell me if I can just buy that section of the intake hose and if so where? I've looked but, to no avail.
Thanks

P.s. whoever invented the sound tube should be brought up on charges...

That part is NOT sold individually.

If you can, remove all the JB Weld from that repair. Unfortunately you used the wrong epoxy for that repair. You should have used an epoxy specifically made for bonding plastic. Your local hardware store should have the proper product.

Like you, I broke that fitting on my GT350 intake, but I was able to repair it with a plastic-bonding epoxy for about $5.

Yeah, unfortunately I think that ship has sailed. I'm thinking about buying a 3/8 brass threaded 90° with a barbed end. Cutting off what remains of the broken part, drilling and gently threading that 90° in. If done carefully I think I can create a good enough seal and put this disaster behind me. Thanks for the info though. Semper kill. I'm an old 0331 2nd Bn 2nd Mardiv 1996-2005.

Was trained as an 0341 at SOI. Went to SFBN, F.A.S.T. Co., Norfolk, '92-94; then 2nd Force at Lejeune, '95-'97.
