I bought and installed the 360 air intake. The hose which comes out of the air hat and attaches to a 90 degree plastic some sort of valve on the passenger side crankcase. What is the exact name of this part. I broke it when installing the intake. No one seems to know what this is called. Please help. Thanking you in advance.

It's some sort of breather... from what I've heard you need at least some kind of filter on it if you don't have it hooked up to your airhat (like if the new intake doesn't have a place for it) so it must be somewhat important. Sorry I'm not helping much.
Well wait... just read what PCV stands for, that probably is the PCV valve isn't it?

yeah i broke mine too during a spark plug change removed the air hat and decided to clean the pcv valve with carb cleaner and i saw that elbow in the driver's side and decided to "try" to pull it out and inspect it yeah big mistake its made out of some brittle plastic (graphite??) stuff snapped off right at the elbow so i just went to my local hardware store and got a hose like the one that goes from it to the air hat only about 4 inches longer and hooked it up to the straight part and secured it with a zip tie pending the day when i find one of those darn things. pardon my redneck engineering its a daily driver and works just fine looks terrible though
if anyone knows where to get one i would sure like to know
thanks

so can you unkook the breather tube from the air hat and put a filter on it or will it mess something up (like the whole pcv system) or is it just emissions stuff also when should you replace the pcv valve i clean mine with carb cleaner at every oil change is that ok to do?
thanks
