Ironically....it's these CCV hoses that are cracked when swapping over to a 3SI intake, or removing the Valve Cover.

I was lucky when doing both jobs on mine. But they are a PITA to disconnect and become brittle overtime. I had new ones on hand just in case mine were to crack. You will also want to buy intake gaskets and a throttle body gasket as well. They are cheap enough anyways.
It was kind of a pain due to the amount of things you have to disconnect to get it out. The CCV hose connection at the back of the valve cover near the firewall was a motherfucker, and the throttle body connector broke off in my hand when I tried to take it off.
