There are three pieces. No reason to freak out. I think you can buy the whole set for about $100.00

The tube you mentioned is most likely the brake cooler conduit.

Have a friend look at it, preferably a Boy that doesn't freak out. Even better send a pic of the hanger on Sounds like the beginning of a TR to me.

Besides being insulting, you didn't actually give much info to the OP. What's a "TR"?

Hmmm so quick to judge, just my opinion and more than the OP gave us. Profile is a woman that's all we know. Maybe, you might prefer to answer her than call my shots......T.R.O.L.L to me, maybe not, still gave my advice. Didn't see yours.
Maybe you just don't like I told her to have a Boy, preferable one who knows what they are looking at, check it, or send a Pic.....Maybe there is a woman that could do the same......is that to tough to get more info that she needs? Seemed reasonable to me...Just Saying.

Have it your way if you like. I take it you were insulted...

There are (3) separate pieces, the center section will be a softer material and is common to both the base and wide-bodied cars.

The right and left hand outer pieces are different between a base car or a wide-bodied version and all are available separate.

Recommend that if you are looking for OEM parts to contact Gene or Patrick at www.cultragfactoryparts.com forum vendor here with a great reputation.................

you can order them individually, usually the center piece doesn't get replaced, as it is a different material (softer) and it takes more to damage it where it should be replaced.

at work currently but your model is a base car or narrow bodied version................ below is a link to one on Amazon which shows pictures and pricing...............

Amazon Amazon

this one on Amazon costs about as much as the 2 outer pieces would cost from GM................

That IS the piece that has the tube attached. That tube is the air duct for the brake caliper cooler.
