I was changing my spark plugs yesterday when I noticed that this tubing going from the air filter housing to the throttle body thingy was dry rotted and split. I can not for the life of me figure out what it is called to search for and buy a replacement. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

Intake manifold? They turn a v6 sideways in that Lexus? It's a front wheel drive?

It's just part of your intake assembly.

For an 11 year-old lexus? Not quite haha

Thanks for the info, everyone. Hopefully, I can find it at a local joint.

About 9$ at autozone if you go silicone.

Loosen the two hose clamps and remove the piece that's bad. Take it to your local parts store and tell them you need a replacement for it.

I did that last night, but they had the D squad working during the super bowl and they were worthless. I'll probably do that tonight if I can't figure it out before then haha
