Weird hose.. where does it go?

Okay, is you look at the air box, you have 2 big and 3 small hoses coming off the back, and I have one coming off the right side. Where does that hose go, and what is it for? On my car it was just a hose that wasn't connected to anything.

Thanks

The excess air the air pump provides to the air control valve is vented back to the airbox. There is a silencer in the airbox that helps muffle the airpump's sound, then the quieted air is vented out of the extra hose.

K, thanks. Now on the back of the arirbox, obviously I know where the two big hoses go. The 2 small ones on the passenger side of the airbox have the BOVs in them, but what about the one other small one?

One feeds the air relief valve on the LIM. Second one goes to the air pump. The thid one is for the BOV and the last one is for the charge relief valve.
