If your 2009-2015 Nissan Maxima with the 3.5L V6 is running rough or has a check engine light for air flow, a cracked intake hose could be the issue. This is a direct replacement hose (part #696-169, also replaces OEM numbers 165769N00C, 165764RA0A, etc.). It connects the air filter box to the throttle body, carrying clean air to the engine. A quality hose ensures smooth airflow for optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency. Installation is usually straightforward – just loosen clamps, swap the old hose, and tighten. Check for any cracks or leaks in your old one. A simple fix that can make a noticeable difference.
