what kind of cold air intake did you buy? second it is a blow off valve. the black hose connect it to the little nub on the side of your intake to your block where the stock one was. the best idea is to just take them both off and put breather filters where the hoses connected.

uh...where the hell did you buy a CAI with a BOV? Its pointless to use...if you just want the sound of the BOV thats retarded...it wont work, the intake works on a vacuum when not boosted so there will be no air to "blow off"
There should be a hose that goes from your valve cover to your intake piping, thats it...pics would help to explain what hose you are talking about....

O.K. there is two hoses that are connected to the stock intake. One is fairly large and goes from the valve cover to the intake pipe. The second one is a regular little black vaccum hose that is about 2.5 inches long and leads to the intake manifold. My brother has not had that hooked up to his intake for a few years now and there has been no effect. Of course it's there for a reason, but you car will run fine without it connected.
