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

I passed Test Only smog with a cracked intake pipe. it was crack at the throttle and had a opening. i use some plastic putting on it to harden up but didnt help. The smog guy saw it and had to get a flashlight to take a better look at it. but i still passed it anyways.

When i bought it last year, it already has a crack. I never knew about the visual thing for the smog. The guy whom I bought it from managed to have it pass. BTW It was a smog only station where I took it.
