Loose piping

I have a stock air intake, and there is an inlet tube (2" diameter maybe) that comes off the front. Its connected to the air box, but hanging loose on the other end. Can someone please tell me what that is, and what it's supposed to be connected to?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks!

If you have question, post a photo of it. I'd shot one of my truck...but it isn't near by

I would do the photo, but the response was spot on and answered my question. I actually saw the hole that it goes into front in the front frame, behind the light.

Thanks for the help FTE forum!

Everything I've ever seen and read, says that the tube is there mostly to limit the intake noise from the engine and it is not required to for the engine to operate correctly.
