I'm just curious, coming in rather late to this discussion...

How many answers came from those who do this sort of stuff for a living...with

The guy that works on my plane is an IA with about 20 years
experience and I'm a complete idiot with regard to this stuff. He has no better idea
than I do whether or not the air flows into or out of the hole in the
hose. He's never mesured the pressure inside a cowling in flight. I say
just replace the hose because it's cheap and you don't really know.
