SRI question

hey i have a 1993 240sx with the ka24de and i was installing the intake today and the is a big hose connected to the stock intake that looks like it goes down somewhere by the rad…what purpose does this hose serve???there is no where to connect it on the intake…do i just plug it??or can i just remove the entire thing???..lol i dunno what its for:P can someone please help

It’s an intake silencer. It’s purpose in life is to be removed and smashed.

lol nice…i didnt think that it served too much of a purpose lol thats why i just cut the hose with a knife:P…lol well i guess its time to take it out and smash it tomorrow then lol:P…thanks for helping me out though:P
