Can you take another pic zoomed out a little? Hard to tell exactly which hose that is.

Hmmm, looks like the rear of the the rat's nest.
I'd just cap it off and see what happens, myself.

I think you guys are right. In a recent install, that nipple was missing a hose at the rear of the rat's nest. My memory tells me it went to the air cleaner or the AC pull-up thing. Just cap it for now since you're unsure.

im gonna try and take a better pic for you all can see it better and where its located. I thought maybe it went to the bottom of the air cleaner unit, but wrong when the noise was louder. i know that this thing is important because its sucking air but i just don't know where it connects. Does anyone out there have a pic on how all the hoses connect?
