Help!! Broken Air Intake
So Today i open my hood and found the second hose coming off the air intake snapped. Its the one that has the metal hose going in to the engine. What are my options? If i buy a cold air intake does it fix the problem? The car seems to run okay.

mine broke too. They didn't warranty it. Pissed me off. I just apoxyed it for now. You can either get an aftermarket intake or they will charge you like a little over $200 to install a new one. Its like $75 for the part if you install it yourself...
This ****** right??

yea, I think that they gave me **** and didn't warranty it cause I have my Dejon chargepipes on my car. Good thing that is part of the intake system right? Anyways, I'm been apoxyed for alittle over a month now and its still holding. I'll prolly just get a SRI or a CAI to replace it if I gota waste the money
