Yea, you need it. Mazda doesn't just put random tubes in its intake system to confuse ppl.

There is a technical answer to this question and I wish I could give it to you. lol Something about keeping the proper seal??? Pretty much, if you don't plug that hose in you'll either lose power or the car won't start at all.

Someone help here! lol
