Thats the AIR hose, it goes to a pump that pumps air into the exhaust.
It needs to be filtered so you can drill a hole in your lid and reconnect it. Or for a cleaner look cut the hose back under the fender or another hidden spot and put a small filter on it.
It only pumps air for 70 seconds or so to get the cats up to temp at start up.

Remove the AIR system and you will experience life without that annoying pumping/whistling sounds at startup. Yank it off unless you are in a stringent emissions state.
