i believe it's the source for the egr solenoid valve(vacuum). some people have tapped a hole into the intake and plugged it in, and some people have just left it with out any problems...

If you decide to leave it alone, a good thing would be to put some type of filter on it because you still want filtered air going into your engine.

No I don't think so, it would look nicer if you put it back in the cone, but then again mine his filtered with a sock and a tie-tie. What ever works just don't clog it.

I think the tubing you are refering to goes to the resonance chamber(look into the workshop manual page F1-102). I'm not sure but I believe this component is used to reduce engine noise.

Yeah, i'm not sure, i got a little air breather just for that hose, but ever since i've swapped my air filter for the cone I seem to be having some strange breathing problems.. like i'd be driving and it seems to hesitate sometimes.. not sure what the heck is wrong...<P>any ideas anyone??<P>Tawheed
