split intake pipe... long journey to do .grrr

[maccavvy]

Just been under the bonnet changing the oil pressure sender and checking water and oil as im off to the fish Monday (130) miles
Noticed the intake pipe is split just where it meets the throttle body.
Im going to silicone and tape it up to get me there ,im sure it will hold .
Has anyone ever replaced it with a silicone replacement ,don't think the fish will have one in stock as its the enlarged one its 100mm id .

Id rather not buy an oe one if there a silicone one available. glad I spotted it though

new ones are 215 quid... st a brick.. its plastic and rubber.

ive asked a local company if they can make one in silicone or ill make an elbow and straight pipe fit .

[maccavvy]

i have some sa tape somewhere... ill start digging it out now and try that.

How does silicone mess up sensors. they are rubber lined after all

[maccavvy]

I may ask if they do a flouro lined one then they are fuel safe . or even an alloy one maybe doable
