The VINMS 17228-R42-A00 engine air intake hose is a reinforced rubber replacement tube with clamps that restores proper air delivery for 2008–2012 Honda Accord and 2012–2015 Crosstour 2.4L models.

If your Honda is showing signs of reduced engine performance, rough idle, or visible wear on the factory intake hose, replacing it with a durable OEM-fit part can help restore reliable airflow and prevent vacuum leaks. This VINMS replacement matches the OEM part numbers 17228-R42-A00, 17228R42A00, and 696-053 and ships with the necessary clamps for a straightforward installation.

How does this intake hose affect engine performance?

An intake hose channels filtered air to the throttle body and intake manifold; any cracks or soft spots allow unmetered air in, which can upset fuel trim and idle. Using a proper-fit replacement restores the designed air path and helps sensors read accurate airflow for smoother running.

• Reinforced rubber resists cracks and heat to keep the air path sealed.
• OEM-compatible shape ensures correct fit with throttle body and filter housing.
• Includes clamps to secure connections and eliminate vacuum leaks.
