Cut close to engine air filter

I changed the engine air filter, then I noticed a cut in the junction of the big rubber hose close by, you can see it on the picture. Should I change it or can it keep working like that?
Except that, my engine has a lot of dust on it, is it a problem?

Common failure point but inexpensive and easy to replace. My hose split open on the underside last year, new one (online) was about $35 as I recall ...

Re: Cut close to engine air filter

That's letting dirty and unmetered air directly into the intake tract and the engine ... same as running without an air filter. Replace it.
