Mine appear to be collapsing, well not the actual box but the flange where the pipes attach.

I'm sure i read on hear somebody was making some new inlet collars for the airbox, can anyone point me in the right direction?

I did a similar thing, but stuck with good old TVR fibreglass, just much thicker this time. I took a mould of the one good one that was left (seen in the for ground), cut off all the bent & broken bits from the others then re-made each one by one. As the fibreglass was much thinker it didn't need that lip at the end so makes a much smoother run, whilst keeping the maximum I/D. In the pics most of them are yet to be trimmed back.
I thought about inserts but was worried any other material in there may eventually work loose, but did this more because I couldn't be bothered to source the correct dia tubing wink Halfwits sell a small kit that has all the stuff you'd need. This have been fine for the last 4 years & the flexible pipes have been off & back on more time than I'd like to remember...



Then added some (probably useless) heat insulation:
