what to do!?!?

sooo, I just broke the nipple that comes off the intake for the braded hose, when I was trying to change hte air filter, I was too lazy to loosen the clamp for the airbox top, I twisted the top a bit to make it slide in and snap went the nipple, I forgot that was there , should I replace it with a new one, or get an aftermarket intake and which one?, my car's all stock other than the muffler delete, and the stage kit won't be happening for a bit, and don't want to tune it, since I'm kinda broke right now I need the warranty

I bought mine used when i broke it for like $35. A new one is like $70. If you have to drive like that, I would tape over the hole on the intake, and on the hose. Its worth a shot at the dealer though.

that's what I'm going to do just plug the hole and drive it like that until it come in, I don't understand whats the deal with the after market intakes so I decided not to buy any

where did you get yours from?
