You don't need a new one, the stock accordion hose will work. All you need to use is force the Lex into the Accordion hose. BTW a an old brittle hard accordion hose will probably be harder to fit the lex into it.

Ive heard try using dishwasher soap to soften the rubber and to lube it up and that really helps getting the lex afm in the hose.

Even with a brand new one it's a royal bitch...

this..... go vpc and never look back! :) get the metal one but be prepared to make some mods. the pro for it is you can get different sized couplers to go between the stock afm and the lex afm as needed.

If you lube it up it should fit in fine. If it's old and brittle it may crack, at which point you'll need to order a new one.

I usually use motor oil to lube it up, just dip your finger in it, and very lightly coat it and it should slide in.
