Default got my Kooks headers today!

However, I do believe they sent me the wrong ones. Well, one of them at least. I ordered the 1 3/4 97-04 C5 longtubes with no emissions
fittings. The drivers side has no emissions fitting, however the passenger side has this wierd thing on the top of the 3rd primary. It is a small tube welded on the top, and it is threaded. However, it doesn't go all the way through. Do you guys have any idea what it is for?
