A ABIGAIL Air Intake Hose for Honda Pilot 2006-2008 — Direct-Fit Replacement 17228-RYP-A00, Heat-Resistant Rubber

A ABIGAIL Air Intake Hose for 2006–2008 Honda Pilot restores the engine’s air-feed path with a durable, high-temperature rubber replacement for part number 17228-RYP-A00.

This replacement intake duct tube is designed to match the shape and function of the factory hose used on Honda Pilot EEX-L, LX, SE-L, EXL and Sport models from 2006 through 2008. Built from heat-resistant rubber, the hose resists drying and cracking that commonly affects older or damaged air intake boots. It serves as the passage that channels cooler outside air from the front of the vehicle into the airbox and throttle body, preserving engine breathing and performance under normal driving conditions.

How will this intake hose fit my 2006–2008 Honda Pilot?

The A ABIGAIL intake hose is manufactured as a direct-fit replacement for the original factory part 17228-RYP-A00. It is shaped to align with the stock mounting points and connection flanges so installation typically requires no modifications. Confirm compatibility by matching the part number and your Pilot’s model year and trim.

• Direct replacement for OEM part #17228-RYP-A00
• Fitment for 2006–2008 Honda Pilot EEX-L, LX, SE-L, EXL, Sport
• No drilling or trimming expected for typical installations

What materials and durability features does this duct tube offer?

This intake tube is molded from high-temperature rubber chosen to withstand engine-bay heat and environmental exposure. The compound resists drying, hardening, and cracking that can develop over time, so it maintains a sealed air pathway longer than cheaper, thin-walled alternatives. Properly installed, it delivers reliable service life for routine driving conditions.

• High-temperature rubber construction for heat resistance
• Designed to resist drying and cracking over time
• OEM-style thickness and reinforcement where needed

Will installing this intake hose affect engine performance or emissions?

The hose’s role is to provide an unobstructed supply of ambient air to the airbox and throttle body; a secure, leak-free replacement helps maintain the engine’s intended airflow characteristics. Replacing a cracked or leaking hose prevents unmetered air intake that can cause rough idle or inefficient fuel-air mixtures. This part is not an aftermarket performance upgrade but a restoration of factory-spec airflow.

• Restores proper sealed air pathway to the engine
• Helps prevent unmetered air that can affect idle and drivability
• Maintains factory airflow, not a performance modification

How straightforward is the installation and what should I check afterward?

Installation is typically simple for anyone comfortable with basic engine-bay work: remove clamps, detach the old hose, fit the new hose, and secure clamps to specified torque. After installation, check for secure connections and listen for any intake noise during startup and a short test drive. Recheck clamps after a few heat cycles to ensure they remain tight and leak-free.

• Basic hand tools required (screwdriver or socket for clamps)
• Inspect clamp positions and replace worn clamps if needed
• Perform a brief road test and recheck for leaks or noises

Who is this for: drivers and DIY mechanics who own a 2006–2008 Honda Pilot EEX-L, LX, SE-L, EXL or Sport and need a dependable, OEM-fit replacement for a cracked or worn air intake hose. This part suits those wanting to restore factory airflow without costly dealer parts, while keeping installation straightforward and serviceable.
