Is that where it goes? I recently took out my midpipe to replace with the cat and saw that hose but had no Idea where it was supposed to go. It was plugged up from the last owner so I just left it plugged. I thought perhaps it went to the pre-cat and thats why I had no idea where to put it.

It goes from the air-pump. It pumps air into your cat to get it hotter to burn more emmisions.

It goes from the airpump to the main cat. I recommend hooking it properly, or else your cat will likely lead a short life.

just take out the air pump, as far as I know you dont need it if you are running no cat, saves weight too.
