Default stock intake pipe

so yesterday im checking stuff on my car and i notice my intake tube that goes into the stock airbox, has a little foam gasket around it and half of it is hanging out at the top, not even making "good" seal. I take the airbox apart and also notice that its sorta loose, i take out all of the bolts and fix the seal and while putting the bolts back it the one closest to the engine ( furthest from the fender) is being a real peice of plum pie and not going in right . I take it out just to see that the bolt is bent about a 1/4 inch from the bottom of it, so i do my best to straighten it out, but even still there wasnt a whole lot i could really do, without messing up the threads , or breaking the bolt, anyways i put it back in, tried talking dirty to it to make it go in straight, and when i get it in about 3/4 of the way in SNAPO! SON OF A BISCUIT!

the bolt snapped in half and is now stuck and i can not get it out for the life of me,


part of me wants to maybe try to get it out, the other part says eh screw it, i'll just get an intake or something to make my engine bay at least look a little cooler,


does any one know a good method for getting the remaining part of the bolt out, its broke off like inside, i cant just grab it with needle nose and twist it out, i need some other strategic mcgyver method to get that ish out



also instead what would be better, does anyone have a TRD CAI that they would like to sell me, i dont have enough posts to be able to post in the classifieds so i cant really do that (which sucks donkey)
