Those are your AIR pump hoses. They do not need replacing. The air pump turns on when you first start your car to pump fresh air into your exhaust to make it run clearner on startup. Then it turns off shortly after start up. When you don't hear it anymore, thats it shutting off because its done its job.
Those are one way check valves, and they can, and do, go bad, allowing hot exhaust gasses to get to the AIR pump.. [not good for it...]
Take em off, and check em by blowing thru em...
