There is a lower piece of plastic connected to my stock tube connecting my air box to my engine. The tube has a huge tear in the middle and I duct taped it so dirt wouldn't get sucked in like the Executor went into the Death Star 2 but the dealer charges 80 ****ing dollars for that one piece of plastic. I mean come ON! So the Auto Zone by my house has plastic and metal tubes for sale but they don't connect to the piece of plastic underneath my stock tube. What does that piece of plastic do and do I need it? Its underneath the tube connecting my air box to my engine.

The plastic boxes and tubes that you see on intakes that don't go to anything are noise silencers. You do not need it, but without it your intake may be more noticable (noise). You can remove it and plug the hole in the intake tube, that won't hurt anything.
