Failed Smog, Intake hose fault Options

[nics]

Hi everyone, I just did a smog test for the my registration renewal. I passed all the emissions stuff expect but failed the comprehensive visual inspection due to a craked air intake hose which was just taped together.

Should I just buy a replacement for the hose from the yard or just install a aftermarket filter?
Should I go for Injen or Weapon R or which other brands would you guys recommend?

Thanks

****ty, I don't specifically know CA smog laws, but that won't effect your emissions at all [it's before the TB] and doesn't interfere with any emissions devices.
It's a repair, just like patching your exhaust.
I would think it's legal, and either the inspector is an idiot or is just being a dick.

messing with your intake pipe or anything engine related is illegal in california unless it has carb cert. You can even use heater hose as an air hose in California. It just give them one more reason you fail you.
