Default Classic intercooler pipe

Hi
Apologies for the numpty question, I tried the search facility to no avail.
I have a classic 96 WRX wagon, and the pipe that goes from turbo to intercooler has gone hard and brittle with age. I strongly suspect that it is not sealing properly so I am wondering if a full silicone replacement is available? I have a single inlet on the intercooler not a Y pipe, with a take off for the standard DV.
If one is available where from?
Many thanks

Widely available in silicone, but, as above the standard item is hard plastic.

sorry should have been more descriptive. I appreciate that they are hard plastic as standard however it is gone even more hard and brittle with age and use. So now the turbo end doesn't seal properly hence why I am searching for a silicone one and thought there may be a vendor on here selling them.
Cheers guys.
