This intake pipe is the main hose that runs from your mass air flow sensor to the inlet manifold on the TB48 petrol engine. It’s a critical part of your engine's air intake system, making sure only clean, filtered air makes it into the motor.
The original rubber pipe lives a tough life and eventually becomes hard and brittle, leading to cracks. You might also find the hose clamps have dug in and damaged the ends. A split or cracked intake pipe is bad news, creating a vacuum leak that bypasses your air filter completely.
If you don't replace a cracked pipe, your engine will start sucking in air, dust, and water straight from the engine bay. This will throw your air-fuel mixture out of whack, causing a rough idle, poor fuel economy, and a serious lack of grunt. Worst of all, you're feeding your engine a diet of grit, which can lead to catastrophic engine damage. It’s a simple, cheap part to replace to avoid a massive repair bill.
