Hi,

Just looking at the pic, I can't identify it. Where approximately was it located? What was it bolted to? Also, can you send a pic looking at it from different points of view?

When I first looked at it, I thought AC or EGR, but I can't be sure.

Let me know.

This was bolted to the Exhaust Manifold.

Hi,

That is an air injection tube. Fresh air is injected into the exhaust to help with the emissions. A common mistake with that part is this. Many people feel it is part of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and it has nothing to do with it.

Let me know if that helps and if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
