Yes, it is a fiddly job and virtually impossible without removing the filter. If the filter is fresh it can be refitted but beware of dirt The braided flexi hose is readily available so best to fit that. A hose with clamps will always be second best and vulnerable to being damaged by the exhaust. Clamps would need to be good for over 80psi on cold starts and as the hose ages, the clamping action will reduce.
