Default air pump hoses

The passenger side one that clamps to the air pipe cracked into pieces. I went to a gm dealership and the part is discontinued, so what the hell am I supposed to do now. Don't say ditch the air and cats because I live in Ca. I have been searching online for hrs and found some silicone hoses for temps up to 450 but don't know if that enough.

Tried heater hose already. Made a nice little smoke show. The nylon cording burning. Again I'm talking about where the nose clamps on the air pump check valve that screws onto the manifold.

you can pass smog just fine without the AIR, its only to warm up the cats on a cold start. no idiot is gonna run the car on a smog machine with a cold motor. but anyways if you are near San fernando valley i have the hoses you need
