What is this part called and where can I purchase a replacement?

I accidentally broke a plastic elbow joint thing on my intake while installing the BHR ignition kit...

I have no idea what this part is called or where I could purchase a replacement other than the dealer. Anybody know what it's called and where I could get a new one?

I tried O'Reilly's but no luck there.

those elbows break pretty easily, especially in cold weather.
head to your dealership, they're only a couple bucks. The guy at the parts department said to me, "we always keep those in stock, the techs break them all the time"

just tell the guy it's the plastic elbow on the intake

They are damn near impossible to not break. A bit easier when the engine is warm but still a PIA.

update: it's called a hose joint.
they're about $6 - $8 depending on what your dealer feels like charging.

Charles, yes it was me. And of course I'm on the phone with the dealership right now and he has no idea what I'm talking about and says they're on back order...

You should be able to get one at a local parts store. Its a pretty generic part for lots of cars.

Thanks. I ordered from the site. The shipping is more than the part.

I went to O'Reilly's earlier and they didn't have a comparable part and the local dealer said they were backordered.
