It's damn sure not on my car, and it's not even pictured in the several mockup pics that others have setup. What IS it for? It's the second pipe from the left in this picture:

Nah if you look at the TOP pic I posted of the four parts, the one you are mentioning is on the right of the one I'm referring to.

IF you guys didn't know, the kit is on my car and working... I just have this 'extra' part...

I dunno why you can't see it so I'll attach it to this post... like I said, it's the second pipe from the left.
