The air intake hose is connected to the throttle body on one end and the other has the filter on it.

The valve cover hose runs from the valve cover to the air intake tubing.

Just get some tubing from your local auto parts store.

It vents crankcase pressure...so it needs to vent somewhere.

Dirt and whatever flies around the engine bay can get in there and into your crankcase. Not the best idea! You can out a small breather filter on it.
