    Is this a vacuum hose?

    It's about the size of my pinky and runs from the top of the air intake tube just past the airflow meter to a 1.5 inch tube nearby. Anyway, it's broken at an elbow fitting. What is it called? Is it important & can I plug it? Can it be bought at AZ?

    A pair of airshocks from Amazon for about $55. will raise the "butt" to match the front seems like a very cheap solution. It works for me.
