JUMOPARTS Engine Air Intake Hose for Nissan Maxima 3.5L V6 (2009–2015) — Direct-Fit, Heat-Resistant

JUMOPARTS 696-169 Engine Air Intake Hose is a direct-fit replacement hose that restores proper air delivery to Nissan Maxima 3.5L V6 engines (2009–2015).

If your Maxima is showing symptoms of poor airflow, rough idling, or you simply need a reliable replacement for a cracked or worn intake hose, this JUMOPARTS part is manufactured to match the fit and routing of the original equipment. It replaces OEM part numbers 696-169, 165764RA0A, 165769N00C, 165769N00D, and 165769N00E, and is built from heat- and oxidation-resistant materials to withstand under-hood conditions.

How will this hose affect engine airflow and performance?

Replacing a damaged or leaking intake hose stops unmetered air from entering the engine, helping the air–fuel mixture remain consistent under different loads. That stabilizes idle, supports efficient combustion, and reduces the risk of diagnostic trouble codes related to air leaks. While it's not a performance upgrade, it restores factory airflow characteristics for proper engine operation.

• Direct-fit design for stock airflow routing
• Prevents vacuum leaks that disrupt air–fuel ratio
• Supports consistent throttle response and idle quality

What materials and durability features does this JUMOPARTS hose offer?

The hose is molded from high-quality, heat-resistant rubber and polymers chosen to resist oxidation and cracking in the engine bay. Those material properties extend service life compared with brittle or aged factory hoses. Proper fit and material selection reduce the chance of premature failure when exposed to engine heat and vibration.
