i think i'm missing something

so my blitz intake from racing beat came in yesterday, and while reading (more like looking at) the japanese instructions to make sure everything was there, i noticed there's a metal tube that goes into the filter. i found the english instructions on racing beat and it says something about a hose. i have no hose. actually i don't have an airbox, either. it's just the standard piping just chilling with no filter or anything on it.

i did some searching and found this: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ht=intake+hose

however i have no idea whether that is helpful or not, as it's 3rd gen specific. should i go pick up a certain size rubber hose? i think i know where it goes into. i can always get a picture of it, if that would help get an answer, but i'm sure someone knows what i'm talking about.

that would be the air pump....

if you still have one then just go to autozone or the like and buy a crankcase vent filter and pop it on the line running to the airpump. Then you can put your intake on

i'm not exactly sure if we're on the same page! all that seems to be needed is a rubber tube/hose or something to run from the metal pipe into another pipe on the engine.
