It lets the steam from the heads out. If u plug it off you're motor will overheating. On efi applications it runs thru the throttle body or you can run it to your top rad hose.

Your welcome, glad i could help. As far as it hitting the intake i can't be much help. One from a ls1 might be different there are aftermarket steamport blocks that use AN fittings.

You can just beat that tube down with a rubber mallet to get the intake to sit down properly. You can also get one from an 03' Z06 it's a little lower and the nipples comes out the front.

Nice Blazer wish I could find one that clean

They are cut like that because they have 1 or more tubes that come apart somewhere in the headers
