You can replace the cold air intake hose with a bit of metallic hose from Home Depot.
What size of hose do I need for the air intake mine is broke as well. Thanks

If it’s noisy and smells like exhaust, it the flex pipe.

The sound at idle outside the car.
This is the sound when the car is started. It is exactly the same when running just sounds more rattlely when reving up.

If the flex pipe is leaking will it pass smog.
