Does anyone know what this is called exactly? And where a replacement can be purchased? Thanks!

If only they made some tape for that duct. Dats what I'd do. Or just turn up the radio...right bill?
Maybe try some foil tape. Should resist the heat and stay in place. Never tried it in an engine compartment before though. It'll allow you to get it into the accordion area and will hold it's shape.
Just get from a JY. If you really want I can get one for you, maybe. I'd have to check if the 7th generation GP's still have the intake tube. Unless a '97-'03 works too?
Junkyard. Mine did the same thing one day when I unhooked the dogbones to rock the engine.![]()
97/98 tube is year specific.
Same with 99-03.
They won't work with the 04+.
For future reference, if anyone is looking for the specific part number, it's 15219032. Got it from gmpartsdirect.com.
Did you really spend $80~ on that thing? lol
No one else offered a specific place to get one cheaper.
I would have got a $5~ correctly sized coupler from Home Depot (like 2 3/4" or 3")...and install the grommet from the intake tube.
There is a solid 5~WHP gain from a 99+ airbox to the 97/98 guys...probably a smidge more so with a high flow filter in there, too.
FWIW Dexcool doesn't cause the intake gasket issues. It's only true claim to fame is potentially turning to oatmeal if air is introduced. Ford, Chrysler and GM all went nylon based (plastic) gaskets around the same time and all of them had the same issues.
My GM truk had a trans drain plug. Maybe it's just the cheap GP that didn't have one.
