Well.. it kind of goes like.... brrrrrruUUUUUHHUHHHHHHHH!

Seriously though, it is a tube that T's off the side of the main intake tubing (post-filter, before it goes into the intake manifold). The noise tubing goes through a set of resonators near the the passenger compartment near the firewall.

The controversy of removing it comes down to if the intake resonance/air pressure was designed with this tubing in mind. While it seems like dead weight (I can't see how it really could be beneficial to keep it personally), some say it has a slight negative impact by removing it. Others are saying it's no difference.. so I'm not sure it's solved yet.

I don't think they'd revise it within the next year, it's too minor.
