Default Need tips on How to repair broken vacuum hose that connects back of intake

Pulled off the stock intake off my 03. And ended up splitting the vacuum hose which I am guessing is for the ac/heat. Does anyone have any tips on how to repair it? I am thinking maybe a dab of silicone possibly and a zip tie. Just wanted to see if anyone else has a brighter idea. Thanks!

or just use a piece of hose, doesn't have to be a 90 degree ?? just a different size from intake to plastic line !!

that's just a vacuum elbow. many cars use the same size and same 90deg fitting. did you talk to the parts counter at your local dealership? they may have something similar hiding around

just a slightly longer piece of vacuum hose in the same diameter will work just fine, it doesn't have to be a fancy 90 degree elbow
