If it was on both sides could be the tube for the A.I.R. System.

Yes, as stated above, that's an AIR tube and there should in fact be one on each side. AIR (Air Injection Reaction) is a component of the emissions system, it injects fresh air into the exhaust system. This is not something you need if you don't have a visual emissions inspection to pass. You can delete the entire system and disable the codes with custom tuning.

I would have dumped that EGR also, we don't have inspections here in Florida.
