Default Cracked PCV hoses? Here's my solution.

After running them for almost 1000 miles, the hoses themselves were starting to look like they were already falling apart (kinked and brittle sections).

I was getting tired of this and customer service from ECS was nonexistant, so I came up with my own solution using hose and aluminum tubing from McMaster Carr. Total spent was $43. If your hoses are cracking, you may want to reuse the ends and do something like this.

Here's where I started:
