Default whats this part

Was pulling the intake manifold off of the camaro last night and there was a plastic? hose that lead from the intake plenum (on the passenger side then splits and sends hose into the rear of each valve cover going into the heads...Well as i tried to pull it off from the plenum, i noticed the hose was cracking and had a tiny hole in it near the driver side head entrance. The Hose in turn, near the plunum then broke

Car has 140K on it... I need to know what this part is, what's it do, can it be replaced, and where can i get the replacement

The two hoses your talking about is your pcv lines, it vents crank case press. On the back of the intake is your MAP sensor, dont know what order the wires are.

LS6 valley cover conversion is about $60 in parts and will relocate the pcv from the valve covers to the valley. If you have to remove the intake to replace the broken pigtail, you would have done the hardest part of the install already.
