Plastic Elbows for Intake?

Does anyone know where i can find the little plastic elbows that connect the lines to the top of the intake tube? I don't even know what the lines are, but the previous owner must have had them off for some reason, because when i took the intake off to install my coils, i realized one of the hoses was glued onto a broken one. I would much rather have a new piece there than the zipties that i installed to hold the line on.

dealership has them, they're pretty cheap. Buddy of mine broke one off when we were installing my alternator.
The guy at the parts dept said, "oh yea...we always have those in stock. The techs break them all the time"

The part you are looking for aint cheap. Its just a piece of small freaking plastic. maybe it cost them 5-6 bux to "bend" them ?

part number is FEMJ-13-758

You better get something that "looks like it" at places like Napa, Autozone, or Pepboys for maybe 1-2 bux

I bought a pack of assorted fittings from autozone for about 5 bucks. It didn't have the proper elbow that i needed, but it had a T fitting that worked, and I just capped the other end. Problem solved.
