That would be your air pump hose, you can cut through the line and take off the air pump when you remove the cats...The pump isnt needed unless you have cats and it can clear a little room under your hood if you remove it

No it'll be perfectly fine...just cut the line and let it hang or wire tie it to something...does nothing but pump cold air....
