I haven't been able to find this part replacement. I guess it's a filter of the air intake from the drivers side front. Any help?

 

Maybe a pre-screen to keep big stuff or critters from going up the intake? Never seen that before.

 

The frayed part is just the flexible hose that goes from your intake filter box then goes up to that elbow part and bolts to your fender well were air is drawn from.

I would go to Home Depot and see what filter media that you can get that is comparable and just cut it to fit....dont want anything that is going to get too clogged and require you to replace it regularly (let the intake filter do that...easy to change i would imagine)

 

It's not a filter of any sort. It's just a flexible fabric piece. It's about as dumb as it sounds.

Clearly yours is ruined, best/easiest/least creative thing for you to do would be to source another one that is at least in decent shape (Ebay probably) and when it arrives, and wrap it entirely in rescue tape. (This sort of stuff http://www.rescuetapeaustralia.com.au/ )

 

21st century duct tape??? Amazing... i must have some!

 

yeah, i agree. i can't find any replacement parts from the regular sources. i think a total invention is coming.

i bought that tape from AB for my steering wheel but it unfused. it worked pretty well when it was working well.

 

Sounds like a good idea to me if you're creative. I have come up with a great but rather ghetto solution that I've had on mine for years, and I remember Justin at Lucky8 was attempting to come up with a solution a while back as well.

Obviously a rubber piece of some sort close to that oval shape which could be stretched tightly around the end caps, or clamped onto the end pieces would be pretty much ideal, but I haven't really eyed anything of the sort anywhere yet.

 

I know that Mercedes have oval shaped air box to outer area connections, boneyard? Heat a piece of plastic pipe and shape it? Works for electricians.

 

ok, i did it using corrugated pipe and electric tape. I should go over it once more in some of that duct tape.

still don't know what the part is called and was never able to source it.
