Default slp air lid

i just installed an slp air lid on my 98 TA and it looks great. car runs fine and slight feel in hp increase. only ques is that i followed the step by step instructions to put it on and there was nothing said about a vacuum hose that connects to the silensors/ baffles that are removed, so now i have a hose that is sucking air just sitting in my engine compartment. is this ok or should i have done sommthing with this hose?/ anyone know what im talkin bout??? input appreciated thnx!!

there looks to be a place that the hose could connect to on the slp air lid but it is plugged up and the hose isnt long enough to reach that spot ????

My SLP lid came with a hose to connect to the AIR hose from the lid.

If you have a hole in the lid, you want to connect your air hose to it.

OR, you can plug the hole in the lid and get a small air filter to put in the end of the factory AIR hose, then tie wrap it to something to keep it from flopping around.
