Not sure if that would work very well.

It needs to be rubber to allow the engine to move, and the AFM to be fixed to the body. If you fit a solid metal pipe between the two, you may have problems.

Can you not drill and tap the inlet manifold for the Fogger ?

yeah but i wanted to put the fogger in underneath the rubber pipe so when i lift the bonnet its all hidden from when people ask whats under the hood. what if i make up a metal pipe with the rubber hose shortened and used to secure the pipe at both ends?
