Making the intake tubing more pliable?

Anyone know a method to make the input boot more flexible, softer, and maybe even prettier? Lol

I have two and both are hard a rocks and stiff. It's like someone soaked them in Viagra!!

A little more pliable would be great and showing it Taylor swift pictures probably won't make it flaccid enough.

Tried a heat gun to soften it up? What are your wanting to do? Reshape it? Make it flimsy for easier removal?

When the rubber gets old it gets dry and hard not sure if spraying it with silicone spray could bring it back. Just like all the other rubber hoses .

Break into the piggy bank and get new That is what I did
