Not sure really, something doesn't seem right but different years have variances. I would hope someone with an 06 could post some pics what theirs looks like in both areas. Something could have been changed at some point. I guess just plug it as suggested.

I checked it with a light and small screwdriver and it seems like it's sealed off. I mentioned in an earlier post that I drove it 250 miles home and it ran like a champ. I think I'll still seal it with something. Hi-temp silicone maybe?

There is no way that's just a open hole. It would be a huge vaccum leak.

So do you think his intake was replaced and this intake is from an 07/08?

That's possible . So if it is aftermarket that would involve drilling out the port in the middle? Is that common? Doesn't sound like his is open as he would have a major issue if it was.
Edit: I'm not suggesting he move anything, just trying to figure why it has both.
