X4XZ Air Intake Hose for Honda Pilot 3.5L 2006-2008 — Reinforced Rubber with 4 Clamps

X4XZ 17228-RYP-A00 is a direct-fit replacement rubber air intake hose with four clamps engineered to reconnect the airbox to the throttle body on 2006–2008 Honda Pilot 3.5L models.

This replacement air intake hose restores the sealed path for incoming engine air when the original hose has cracked, split, or become porous. Built from reinforced rubber with high-tenacity fiber for better resistance to heat and aging, the hose ships with four clamps so you can complete the repair in one visit to the driveway or garage. It’s offered as an aftermarket alternative to the OEM part, matching the OE number 17228-RYP-A00 for fit reference; confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s part number before purchase.

How will this hose affect my Honda Pilot’s performance?

Replacing a damaged intake hose eliminates unmetered air leaks that can trigger a check engine light, rough idle, or hesitation under acceleration. A sealed intake path helps the engine's air/fuel metering work as designed, improving drivability and preventing symptoms caused by vacuum leaks.

• Prevents unmeasured air entering the engine system
• Helps resolve idle instability and throttle hesitation
• Can reduce false check engine codes tied to intake leaks
• Restores intended engine air metering for consistent performance
