Cold air intake small pipe on elbow

[Silver pockets]

Just a quick one can anyone tell me where the small pipe that comes out of the elbow, for the cold air intake go and what it's for, mine is just dangling off the elbow pipe at the moment cheers folks.

the pipe out the right hand side of the airbox leading down near the wheel should connect to the "acoustic valve" 98% of people on here disconnect it or remove it completely.

it's a pointless valve that Is either designed to quieten down intake noises or designed to give a unique intake note? either way remove it and make way for bigger better cold air feed

the not so "cold air feed" comes out the back of the air box and round the side towards the back of the headlight.

this is what that side pipe connects to and hides behind your wheel arch liner. easy to remove

Ah right cheers, think it's been removed already.

Off the elbow? If so, that's the breather pipe that goes into the back of the inlet. This pipe?

If it's the acoustic valve as mentioned above and its been removed, then you need to block the pipe coming out of the from of the inlet. I did this yesterday:

@Dr Jekyll ahh yes he probably did mean this pipe. I've read wrong 🙈

I take it this small pipe leads to the acoustic? because my acoustic is still bolted to the horn but no air pipe or electric plug in...so do I still need to block that vacuum pipe up??

Yes it does buddy. I removed mine yesterday and shortens the pipe and blocked it with a bolt as seen above so it's nice and neat.
