need a bit of help

Well I just recently purchased a used car, I have a general knowledge of cars, so I looked under the hood with friend who knew what he was doing. The only thing that was missing was the air intake hose, I figured no big deal, quick fix... Well apparently there was a reason the dealer didnt do it himself. Its almost impossible to find the one I need, I visited 5 places with no luck... Going to a pick a part junk yard tomorrow to see if I can find it...

anyway, just wondering if anyone knew where I could find what I need...

one side of the hose is a 3 inch circle...
the other is a 4 by 2 inch (if I remember right...) rectangle...

just need a real short hose...
as a result my car heats up VERY easily, and i cant stop and leave in running while parked... anyway, any help is appreciated...

the stores I visited myself where -
-Autozone
-Pepboys
-Car Quest
-Nevada House of hose
-Napa auto parts...

none seemed to have one...

1. What car? (just curious)
2. Why don't you just make one?
3. Did you try ebay?

Maybe look for an aftermarket one?

1. What car? (just curious)
Pontiac Firebird 89
2. Why don't you just make one?
Was going to, thats why I went to that house of hose,
but they where out of the size I needed
3. Did you try ebay?
yes, but I couldnt find it
closest thing I could find doesnt have pictures so Im unsure if it'll work

I hear its hard to find parts for the Firebird of that era. Still, I believe making your own from some kind of extreme heat resistant material is your best bet (or junkyard I guess). Maybe try an exhaust shop and see if they can find something suitable for an intake.

yes i guess you should try an exhaust shop which may find perfectly fit for your intake, mine..i went to a reputable dealer where i can find a perfect exhaust from canada (http://www.autopartsonlinecanada.com/category/exhaust.html) parts for my intake...try looking around..try ebay..
