Default pcv valve tube....where does it go???

i replaced my fuel rails witht he fast rails and after i got done i noticed the hose/tube that connects to the drivers side pcv valve (i believe thats what it is) was pulled tight and had ripped.

i looked at it and noticed the r-tard that put it on last just fastened the rubber hose around the pcv vavle stem, and didnt put the hard tube inside the rubber jacket on... so when i was putting the rails on it basically pull it tight to the point it tore off.

my question is, where does the hose go to? and where can i purchase a new hose for it? thanks in advance.

here are some pics to help. thanks in advance.

I'd suggest a dealer or find another material. I have an '01 with 81,000 miles on it and all the rubber on the pcv system is rotted and soft.
I know at parts america and autozone they have various rubber 90's, etc in the motormite help boxes.

just do the ls6 pcv conversion, then you will have one short hose.
