What's this called??

You know on the air filter housing there is a ducting or tubing that extends from the underside of the extended portion of the housing to some sort of exhaust outlet right above the driver side header. Anyone know what I am talking about?

Mine is seemingly missing and I can't find a replacement for the life of me. I even tried going to some places like Home Depot and they had the stuff I was looking for but was too big and didn't come in small portions.

Yes.

It's called various things; heat stove pipe seems to be the most common.

It's hanging in little yellow and green boxes at VatoZone and other places that carry the Help! product line, near the air filters.

It also might be called a "Heat Exchanger" Its to help get warm air into the engine during warmup by delivering hot air off the manifold.

thermac is the lil vacuum driven choker on the inlet tube of the stock intake peice. stovep pipe is the common slang for that little peice.

screw the stove pipe less you live in alaska. save your bucks get an open element aircleaner. less our cars are now old enough to have value as numbers matching and showroom stock,, its possible, value has doubled since i owned my anniversary.
