Default where can i find rubber hose for intake?

The intake hose the connects from the throttle body to the black plastic intake was so brittle in split in half. I have a 92 sc300. Any suggestions? Diameter measures out to approx 3 inches.

I have tried fitting couplers from Home Depot and other silicon intake coupler aftermarket brands and nothing was too long to reach both ends unless you buy like a 10-12" long from aftermarket silicon brands for $80++. Only way to go is OEM which is about $60+ for SC400 from Sewell Lexus, not sure what the price is for the SC300 which is actually longer. My intake coupler still has duct tape over it.. :/

The coupled is only about 2-3 inches long. It only connects the throttle body to the intake.

Sounds like vacuum lines. Any parts store will have it by the spool, take a reference line and by several feet. I you have one that's brittle, you can be sure other to be just as bad.

It's not a vacuum line tho. It's a coupler like on ic piping. Bit this one connects from tb to intake plastic piping

Oh yeah, on the SC300 your manifold is on the driverside.. Maybe you can use the ones available on Autozone or O'Reilly.. Spectre I believe is the brand, they have 3 1/4" diameter by 3" long.

If you need one I have an oem from when I replaced my intake! Its all yours for $10 I was about to post the whole intake for sale.. if you want the rest for a spare shoot me an extra $10 I'm in Canada though so you may just want the rubber for shipping expense
