Broken CAI Part! Dont know how to get a new one!

The part I highlighted in green keeps popping out of the part highlighted in blue. The part in green has a bent connection (my fault I assume) and the two parts are always coming undone! I have to fix this problem almost weekly and i don't know where i can order a replacement part. I talked to Injen and they tell me it's a Honda part. Can anybody help me? How serious is this problem?

I would suggest you give more slack on the other end where the metal coupler attaches to the "grey" hose. On my Injen set up, I have the metal coupler slightly exposed and have no issues of disconnecting. I would also check to make sure the intake is secure the to the vibra mounts properly.

the problem is that the plastic tube is actually bent (its looks like a pacman). I just need somebody to help me identify the part so that i can order a new one from honda, that is really my point here

I know the first design of the Injens just has an 11" vacuum tube that replaces the whole EVAP vent thing. I dont know if its a bad idea but you can pick up a piece of that hosing from your local auto parts store and replace that whole tube.
