If it is the one I'm thinking about it doesn't go anywhere. IIRC it is for venting when the BOV release pressure and overpressure the airbox. I believe it usually has a 8 in tube that just loops under the box.

Dunno, never taken mine off. Seems very reasonable that it would make more noise without the tube though.

Normal or not, it is better that air is flowing out of it due to it being an open inlet that bypasses the filter. I'd get one off a local member if it bothers you, someone nearby you must have taken off their stock airbox and has stuff to sell. You should be able to get it real cheap. Try posting a WTB in your regional classifieds.

Have you opened the box up? Is there a filter inside?

That tube does not connect to the air intake but is a blow of from the air pump when not in an exhaust injectio cycle. if memory is corret, inside of box has this area baffled off from normal flow.
