    Does anyone know what this is?

    White? If so, in an ‘03 it’s the auto parking brake release vacuum tube. In yours it is a vacuum tube with a cap on both ends.

    The perfect chase way for boost gauge tubing.

    If it’s any other color it’s for your climate control.

    My only guess as to why they left it intact is a lack in firewall plugs the correct size for the hole at the time? Still, an extra step to cap both ends and the vacuum manifold?

    It had me stumped as well the first time I found it, but like mentioned I found it quite useful!

    Makes it much easier to install the automatic parking brake release on an '04.
