That would be the intake snorkel.It brings air into Your air filter box from outside of the nice hot engine bay

svt, why would it have been removed, also where can I buy one and what does it hook up to, cause I have the stock airbox.
Is it bad not to have it

Take the filter out and see if the back section is still there in the hole. If so this guy has the rest of it for sale.

It may have been removed by the previous owner if they installed an intake. It won't hurt the engine not to have it, but it helpes to feed outside air to your airbox.

LMAO, that's basically a turbo right man? it forces exhaust gas into your motor making it turn higher rpm's.... the boost must be orgasmic!

three posts in a row.. i know... that snorkel on that side some people remove because it sounds "cooler" without it.. youll get a little chirp around 2500k when you get on the gas.
