Red one is what I told you on MSN, and the ribbed one is the heat pipe from the manifold area to send hot air to the standard airbox.
Pull them both off, keep the red one and give the ribbed pipe to your horny female neighbour!

DONT plug it up!!! Air gets pumped through that pipe, so all you'll do is cause pressure!!! Just pull the red pipe out and thats the job done!

that red pipe is a vacumm pipe that opens and closes the hot air flap inside the air box as there is no fucking air box there is no need for the red pipe
now when you buy a k&n induction kit it comes with a small rubber plug to plug the hole at the carb
now i had a k&n induction kit i plugged the hole and the was absaloutly no problem with my car
and it says that in the instruction i also did this to my friends astra and there has been no problem with her car either
the big black pipe u dont need the red one remove and plug up the hole if u cant find a plug keep the red pipe plug up the hole and tie it out of the way safely
