Default Whats this hose ?

While I was fitting a new K & N air filter, I noticed this hose is in really poor shape (see pic)
I am guessing it's a coolant hose (?) and am wondering if I can just replace it or will it mean the system will need to be bled ?
any info would be great
TIA
peace

I'm pretty sure that hose goes from your cycling valve to your J-boot.

that's the bleeder hose that takes the excess pressure from the cycling valve and put's it back into the intake.

I'm not sure how replacing it goes though.

If you get under the intake manifold some time soon, you may consider the venturi delete.
