Split length of fuel rated hose, cut a 45º edge at each end of split, black RTV at the 45º overlap? Or is there too much risk of excess RTV getting sucked into intake? Too bad one couldn't remove the plenum and do the job that way. I doubt even silicone hose would allow enough leeway to do the job that way. If all 4 intake runner hoses are the same age, others will follow.
