Will this hose fit my Honda Pilot V6 3.5L from 2009–2015?

Yes — this intake hose is manufactured to match the dimensions and mounting points of the original part for Honda Pilot model years 2009 through 2015 with the 3.5L V6. It is intended as a direct replacement for the factory duct and is compatible with the listed OEM part numbers.

• Direct fit for 2009–2015 Honda Pilot 3.5L V6 engines
• Designed to replace part numbers 696-138, 17228RN0A00, 17228-RN0-R00
• No major modifications required for typical installations
• Aftermarket (non-genuine) but engineered to meet or exceed OEM standards

What materials and durability can I expect from this intake tube?

The hose is molded from high-temperature rubber that withstands engine-bay heat and resists drying and cracking that cause leaks. That resilience helps maintain consistent air delivery and reduces the risk of premature failure compared with lower-grade materials.

• High-temperature rubber construction for heat resistance
• Flexible design to tolerate engine movement and vibration
• Resistant to hardening, splitting and environmental degradation
• Manufactured for extended in-service life versus brittle plastics

How does installing this intake hose affect engine performance and reliability?

Replacing a cracked or leaking intake hose restores proper airflow and reduces the chance of unmetered air entering the intake system. While it won’t increase horsepower by itself, it helps the engine run as intended by the manufacturer and maintains steady sensor readings.

• Eliminates vacuum leaks that can upset air/fuel mixture
• Helps preserve accurate mass airflow and throttle body performance
• Supports consistent idle and throttle response
• Prevents dirt and debris entry when used with the stock airbox

How difficult is the replacement and what should I prepare?

Installation is straightforward for a DIYer with basic hand tools: remove clamps and fasteners, detach the old hose, and fit the replacement in reverse. Take care to inspect adjacent clamps, sensors and the airbox for wear while the hose is off.

• Typical tools: screwdrivers, pliers and socket set
• Allow time to inspect clamps and intake connections for corrosion
• Ensure proper seating to avoid vacuum leaks after installation
• Contact customer service if you encounter fitment issues
