I have a friend that has a broken stock intake tube that he want to plastic weld back together but he isn't sure what type of Plastic it's made from, and neither am I.

Does anyone know?

Re: Plastic intake tube material?

Just today found out that mine is pretty beat up as well. Probably need to find a better one.

One thing that's a bit odd that there was a vertical plastic "can" attached to it and I always thought it was a Ty original until it started to come loose and when I checked it was't visible in any other stock engine bay pictures. It has a number on it and googling it says that it is a "RESONATOR. Air Cleaner Intake. This genuine part fits your 1991 Buick Regal., #14 in the pic. Wonder what was the idea to have that?

You can see it there between ABS and brake fluid reservoir:
