Default Cone Filter Question...

What is the OVAL/Round Connecter that goes into the stock airbox? Is it necessary to have this mounted somewhere if you slap on a cone filter? Like in the pipe or something? All of the aftermarket intakes that I have seen are little more than a cone filter and a 180º pipe. I would prefer to fabricate my own, but I am worried about that Oval/Round sensormajigger...

Any help would be appreciated... Pix are good also..

Thanks

Default are you talking about that rubber plug thing?

yeah...i think you need it. on my intake...they left a cutout for you to put it back in. i dno't know what the heck it does. its just some funky metal heatsink-looking thing with a rubber surround. i would tell you more...but i'm absolutely clueless on wtf it does. :P

We're sure it's not just an air Temperature sensor?
