Exactly. It won't be "factory" but it'll work-a hose is just a hose after all. Don't wait too long to fix it, either. I slowly started to lose gas mileage and idle quality and a 10 cent rubber hose would've fixed it...

there is probably enough hose there that you can cut off the bad piece and slide it back on.

the rubber hose runs from a nipple on the passenger side valve cover to the nipple on the throttlebody

the hard plastic hose runs from the PCV valve to the intake manifold
