Thanks in advance!

don't let blackhat scare you guys. An aftermarket intake system doesn't ALWAYS mean a dusted turbo. When I bought my truck it had 41k on it and now has 73k. It came with an airaid intake and who knows how long it was used before I bought it. When I purchased it the airaid filter was clean if not brand new. didn't ask. When my turbo was pulled out to have it cleaned the 7 intake impellers looked just fine with absolutely NO chips, dings, scratches or excessive carbon build up. Also, not all dealerships will void warranty if you run one. The tech that cleaned my turbo works at a dealership south of morgan hill and told me if anything comes up that he will have his service manager cover it under warranty because he knows I don't beat my truck up or race it. It's all about finding a good match. they are out there. Just to keep things on an even keel(sp) around here. lol

As i stated before use A/M air intakes at your own risk, as there is no performance benefit to the motor, "caveat epmtor".

Also if the OEM Donaldson system flows more air than the 6.0 can use until you reach 500+RWHP what is the benefit of and A/M air intake?
The guys racing them have found no benefit in an A/M air intake until they reach 500+RWHP.

Back to the original question, the hose is a secondary inlet in case the primary filter inlet is plugged, most likely by snow ingestion (which is an actual test run when developing a new vehicle).
Not sure how this ended up a discussion of air filters.

And yes the secondary inlet question and use was answered in the first few posts, look at post #6 by the BBC, for specific reference to secondary air inlet.
Here you go . . .
