Try to get a good close-up of the hose you are asking about.

Are you talking about the larger hose that is "hidden" when you have the air intake in because it's underneath the intake?

If it's what I think you are talking about, it's just a "resonance" chamber for sound or something and isn't needed...

You hooking up a ebay intake or something?

It's not un-metered as it passes the maf and just goes to a small chamber. No air escapes in or out.

It'll just change the sound and possibly cause you to lose a tiny bit of low end torque.

No. It wont cause any power loss. All those chambers are for is to make the intake quiet. Just make shure the hole is plugged.
