stock air box, ok i noticed on my gxl that on the airbox itself thee is a little tubp like a port on the mass air flow side with nothing connected to it, should there be a hose connected to it and where should it go to? i searchd the forums and couldnt find anything on it and it is really starting to bug me

The only hose connected to the airbox is the air pump supply.

No. That approx 3/8ths inch nipple goes nowhere. Just gets capped off.

I don't know of this nipple Hailers mentioned. It's been years since I saw a stock airbox. There's only one hose connected to the intake duct that I know of, and that's for the BAC and AWS valves.

Post pics so we now what you're referring to.

mine does not have it on there its just open would this cause some of the prolems im having NZ?

No, it just means that unfiltered air is being used for the secondary air injection system (air into exhaust to lower emissions).

i just wanna hook up the hose, just so i can make the bay a lil cleaner, do i need to special order it or can i pick it up at autozone

Any hose of the right diameter will work, but the bend might be a bit sharp causing it to kink. The factory hose is pre-formed. You could get it from Mazda (p/n N326-20-751) or look for a used one.
