It's for the silencer tube for the A/C. A lot of times people just tape it up or you could order a 1LE intake elbow. They're sealed off.

The long tube is called the donkey *******. It's always in the way. Rip it out, and shove the bottom half of a bottle of RainX up in there and duct tape it. Problem solved, and nobody will ever see it.

There is not supposed to be a completely open hole in the elbow. Any openings on the back side of the MAF sensor are "really bad".

Summitracing.com has an elbow that is aluminum. I plan on getting this one, comes in a kit with all the rubber pieces, and works with the Air Foil. Just throwing it out there....

hahaha the donkey dick. i was telling a few guys at work that my car had a bigger **** then any of them. they thought i was lying.. so i showed them. they were impressed by it.

i was thinking about what i could use to block it off the other day and thought about a pert plus cap.. looks like its going to work then according to slow96z.
