Help on Stillen intake

I just notice this tube is torn. Sorry I didn't take a before pic. I just wrapped it with exhaust tape them clamped (not tight) it down for now. This is on the passenger side. Do you know part # for this ( I don't remember if this came with the Intake kit) or the tube size?

Oem is not reused. You can buy silicone or rubber tube and cut to length. You just need to know diameter to buy

After a few days of driving with this tape, my mpg increase by 2 to 3 on the hwy. I may have been driving with a torn tube for 2years. Now I'm getting 27mpg and my throttle response is better now.
So I got the tubes from Stillen. I didn't want to take the risk of taking them off to know the size. I guess right, as soon as I took them off the tear for worse.

I've had alot of luck at AutoZone with these types of projects as they have various tubing behind the counter that they will cut to size for you. Just take a piece with you for reference. Might cost a few bucks. Also, spring clamps may look a little better than the worm clamps for this application. AZ has those as well.

I'll keep that in mind. When I installed the new tube, I used new clamps. I saved the old tube for reference just in case.
