Default Should I worry about replacing this frayed hose soon?

<center><img src="http://www.chrismondragon.com/audicable.jpg"></center><p>Recently I've noticed my car's acceleration isn't as smooth and decided to closely examine all intake hoses and then *ding* I found 'this' bad dog. Anyone else have experience with these hoses getting frayed? BTW I'm unchipped (57k).
