air cleaner box....question
whil taking off the intake hoses last night...i ran into an odd hose on the right side of the intake box...it was a ~1"diameter hose that connected to a 1" diameter plastic piece, ~6" long...it didnt apparently connect to anything..just went down along the right side of the box.
nyone know what this is and if it is supposed to be like this?
thanks

Its called the "Mystery Hose". Do a search on that term.
It keeps the car from going "Moo" , "Moo". I'm not joking. When I had my stock airbox I removed my airbox without taking that hose off and the end of that hose (has a hard plastic peice) grabbed on to the hose that connects to the AST, and cracked the Nipple to the AST. I was not aware and drove my car. My coolant leaked out of my engine, I *ALMOST* overheated but was lucky I look at my water temp every few seconds. Just an FYI.
BTW..that hose should seperate into 2 peices, you can use just the small 4 inch part and it will do the same thing.
