Can I Change Air Cleaner Hose that Connects the Air Filter to the Carburetor?

[CarefulRider]

Hello all:

I have a 2008, Sunl, Adventure, LB150T-12; 157QMJ, with a 150 cc GY6 engine. The scoot is equipped with all stock parts. The rubber air cleaner hose or air intake tube, that looks like a ram's horn develops tears over time, owing to the tension caused by the bends needed to connect from the air filter housing to the carburetor. The current one lasted one year.

Is there another filter that I could install that would eliminate the rubber hose, but permit me to keep ALL the other (associated) parts stock?

Thanks in advance

If that hose is prone to tearing could you just replace that rubber hose?
