Help ID this airbox hose

Please help me identify the airbox hose that's on the right-side of the airbox (as your looking at engine from the front).

I know where it attaches to the airbox, but where does it go ?

Below circled in red, is the hose in question.

Thanks,
:-) neil

I thought so, but I couldn't find any reference to it in the factory manual.

This forum is great!

Yea that freaked me out when I first got my car -- I decided to disassemble all that upfront stuff to inspect the radiator and all the lower brackets, etc.... My neighbor was a Mazda tech and had a 93' FD in his bay so he varified for me it went to nothing the next day.

It's only there to vent excess pressure from the air box.

Everyrime I see this post I know the answer before opening the thread. Then the Ozzy song "The Road to Nowhere" pops in my head.
