SL550 air intake hose unraveled

when changing out the air filter, when I removed the cloth type material air intake hose...the damn thing came unraveled.

Can anyone please recommend a replacement piece? Maybe silicone or plastic that won't erode in the Texas heat...

TIA
Mark

Looks as if you are going to have to order from a dealership or one of the online vendors....

Same thing happened to me on my CLS... went to the dealer that my buddy works at and got both sides new for $150.. such a dumb piece to put in such a large(and expensive) engine... i was expecting at the very least a plastic hose, but nope!
