Help with cold air filter, Help Options

Hi!

BTW excuse my english, its not that good.

I bought a K&N open air filter and trying to install it, i have a 1997 celica 1.8.

When I see at the OEM air intake tube a see this thing attached to it, to the side towards the driver if you know what i mean.
I dont know the name of it, its like a square and you can unscrew it it looks like. Maybe a sensor?

But my point is, on my new air intake tube, it doesnt have the hole to attach that thing. It only has the hole for the air temp sensor hole...

So what do I do with the thing if I innstall my new filter? Cant just let it hang there...

Thanks, and I hope you understand something of what I wrote..

Just a little black box under the intake tube? That's just a resonator to silence any intake noise. It isn't important. As long as you get the intake sensor in, you'll be good.

Pictures can help if it's difficult to explain.

Air filter

This is not my picture, so sorry for using it if anyone doesnt like it.

Anyway, as you can see the stock air intake tube has 3 "exist"
1st goes into the engine
3rd goes into the filter box
But its the second I am wondering about. You can see it on the picture, it goes against the driver if you know what I am.

In my intake it has only 2 "exists" 1st into the engine, 2nd into the cone filter, it doesnt have 3.

So Im wondering what to do with that?

Thanks!

you dont need it with the cai, its just a resonator to keep intake noise down. trash it!

I think you mean "exits" (as in entry or exit) rather than "exists" (do ghosts exist?"
