Can someone tell me if both (left and right) intake mufflers have second hole in it (cca 30 mm diameter), or only passenger side intake muffler have that hole?

Here is the link, where can you see that hole (number 22 is the hose which goes into that hole); My question is does both mufflers have this hole and this hose (number 22) or only passenger side does, and what for is that hole (hose for?

Thanks in advance, Gogi!

Please, can someone look under the hood-it is visible very well if both intake mufflers (air filter boxes) have second tube (item 22 from the link from my first post) or just passenger side have second tube...and for what purpose is that second hole in the filter box?

Please, anybody...

only the passenger side has this hole. I believe it is for protection against high water. If you submerge the intakes, there is still an air intake in the upper part of the front fenderwell.

Thanks Mike, but are you sure? I alwajs thought that this holes ere thare for the reason that too big pressure off air from main port can escape thru this hole...??
