3.0 v6 intake nipple

Good morning all!
I have a cracked nipple on the back edge of the intake pipe between the air box and throttle body for the vacuum line, hearing this is a common problem with them being brittle. Does anybody know if this single nipple can be replaced or if its a whole pipe?
Thank you!

I don't think the nipple is avaible separately

Part 12 is the tube/resonator with nipple assembly

You should be able to get another pipe from a breaker or there should be a few people on here who have a spare one.
They normally sell for £30 - £40

I’ve upgraded to a silicone intake pipe and still have my OEM one if interested? Whereabouts are you in the UK?

Thank you! The part number was a big help! You are correct unfortunately it doesn't come separately
