I am not sure of the size you need, but tons of people make silicone hose couplers. Google it and take some measurements to figure out which one you need.

Yea you can pick up a generic coupler just take the measurements of the diameter of the hoses.

The reason it ripped is because you are using worm clamps. Upgrade your clamps to what is known as T BOLT clamps. They work better and are less prone to ripping silicon couplers.

+1 You should be able to order everything you need from www.siliconeintakes.com. Good luck getting it patched up.
