It's the tube coming off the intake going to the left of the engine bay and into the cabin. It pipes intake/engine noise into the cabin.

its quite a lot of tubing actually and removing it cleans up the engine bay nicely. plus, once you get an aftermarket exhaust its then next to useless as you wont be really able to hear it over the exhaust.

I may be one of the few, but I like the sound. Granted, I haven't put my exhaust on yet, but I love the growl the engine makes with the help of the noise plumbed into the cabin.
