AIR?

 

That is probably the hose (heat riser) used to feed hot air to the engine during warm up. The air flows inside of a shroud wrapped around the exhaust manifold and gets heated up. There is a valve in the air cleaner that select hot or cold air depending on what the engine needs. Sometimes it gets stuck on hot and you loose a lot of power.

 

yep- most people call it a heat riser pipe

 

yep. heat riser. about 5 bucks anywhere
