Default Where does this hose go!?

I have a black hose that is completely disconnected. Im thinking its for my heater because of the fact that my car wont blow heat. Anyway its black rubber about 3/4" inside diameter on the drivers side front of the engine compartment right to the right of the radiator. Its pulled up so you can see it plain as day. Any ideas? If I could take a picture I would but my Blackberry is broken at the moment.

That what I saw in other pictures but I cant seem to find where the connection is. Its not on the drivers side of the air lid like in the pictures i've seen.

If you've got an aftermarket lid, there may not be a connector for it. If not, don't worry about it, plug it and move on. That's what I did, My Air and EGR are getting deleted anyways.

If you look closely at the lid you should see a spot to cut a hole. You'll need the rubber grommet and the hose nipple to go through the grommet into the sair filter assy. If not, you'll need to either get the right lid or stick a small filter on the end of it like many have done.

Don't cut up your lid. Just stick a filter on the end of that hose and call it good. Or better yet if you can't remove the AIR system for some reason, just pull the fuses on that stupid pump and buy nothing.
