NEED HELP I.D. this part/hose
okay so your standing at the front of the car looking at the engine. on the left side of the engine that hose that goes down and underneath the car to a vent/intake port thing. wut is it? can you just eliminate the hose and just replace with a small aftermarket filter?

You mean the silencer for the ACV dump? You typically end up with some strange noises at random times if you take that off while the air pump is still connected.

The ACV and air pump have nothing to do with exhaust back pressure.

I'm not on here talkin outta my ***. However I'm not even mad cause I said the same thing. But my car disagrees. My car would severly suffer power loss above 3500 rpm. No boost because it somehow diconnected. Everytime it popped off,no power, fix it and I was flyin again. Soo.. I say this from experience

So again, on a working RX-7, the ACV and air pump have nothing to do with exhaust backpressure. If you read the emissions section of the FSM & take a look at the inside of an ACV & the LIM passageways, you'll realize this. A lot of people have taken the silencer tube off, including myself, and had no sudden loss of power.
