It supplys air from the airpump to the catalytic converter and it has nothing to do at all with the operation of the auxillary ports on a series four car.

The catalytic converter needs that pipe. If you leave it off or disconnected it'll ruin the catalytic converter over time. They cost a lot plus a ruined catalytic converter will clogg up and reduce hp.
