hoses coming off the intake?

what size are these hoses coming off the midpipe? and what exactly do they do? and if i'm making a midpipe, what kind of sealant can i use around the hose attachments?

the hose in the front coming from the right side of the engine is an exhaust hose that just shoots the air back into the intake (i believe) but you dont need it as long as you put a small filter on the end of the engie after you take off that hose. the other you need to keep. you dont need any sealer just clamp them on using the existing metal spring clamps.

what size hose? how many hoses? come on guys go open your hood and find out. i dont know where you guys are getting the idea for sealant. i have never needed to use any sealent on my intake for the hoses or the conectors. everything goes together with bolts or the screw down ties.

front valve cover hose is slighty smaller than the IACV hose. I dont remember the sizes off the top of my head. Then there is one small vacuum hose. thats all. when i made a mid pipe i used JB weld to seal and hold the hose fittings to the tube.
