Yes. The hose is there to give your engine fresh air and helps the engine breathe more efficiently, and therefore run more efficiently. The drop in mileage will not be dramatic, but in the long run, this can cause more problems than reduce gas mileage. If you're not confident changing the hose yourself, any Toyota certified mechanic will be happy to do it for you.

this is for a 2000 mustang 6 cylinder thank you clamp has forced the filter to form a groove in the hose that prevents it from pulling off, It will come off with some force, but may damage the end of hose making it leak when you connect to new filter. If there is enough hose just cut it off close as you can to the old filter and install new filter in the freash cut hose.
