X5Cat is on a distinguished road
Credit actually goes to USPS. It arrived on Saturday. Turns out the old hose was fine. All I had to do was replace the junk plastic fitting with the new aluminum retrofit. No leaks, yay! I did have to remove the long, tubular aluminum crossbar to gain good access. That required also removing the two plastic rivets holding the air intake duct to it, and unsnapping a plastic tube from the back side of the bar. All in all, a fairly straightforward DIY job.

As far as the hoses go, sure, they are all 10 years and 122K miles old so, sure I would like to replace them all. That will have to wait for another day, though.

Thanks, smassey321 and Zulu95! The aluminum replacement was a great tip.
