Yeah, looks like something on the stock bypass valve. Perhaps a noise maker so you can sound uber cool with your stock bypass

Looks to me like a blockoff for the pipe that goes to the BAC off of the turbo up-pipe...

it's a cap for your blow-off. it caps the blow off which i believe means the off from the blow is capped.
