Hose to Nowhere?

There is a hose leading from the stock airbox on the right hand side (facing the front of the car) that goes in a downward direction that isn't connected anywhere. I can't find any likely places for it to connect to. Anyone know if it hooks up anywhere or not?

Thanks!

before you get the big ball of flammmmmmessssss telling you to search, its just a hoese that vents tot he atmosphere. Trust me i know how the search is but if you dig deep you can find it, but you should be ok with that hose.

Thanks guys! I tried to do a search on it, but came up with a bunch of garbage that had nothing to do with the subject and after 30 minutes of wading through that crap I gave up. Thanks for you help again!

I had been trying to figure that hose out myself and was getting irritated since the shop manual has that diagram where it appears to lead nowhere. "WTF, where does this stupid hose lead to?!! Stoopid diagram!!!"

Hahahah, glad to know it doesn't connect to anything, since I had capped it off anyways.

I believe that opening leads to just some sort of resonator inside of the airbox, so I don't think its a big deal anyways.
