looks like a gas or evap line, if you have no leaks I would lean towards an evap line... as far as where it should go I'm not really sure... have you ever had the tanks out?... I know there are some lines on top of the tanks so that's where I would be looking, either that or maybe to the one of the fuel hats

Possibly the factory install of magnetic ride control lines, but not actually a full installment due to option not ordered?

No the gas tanks where never out. I just put the rear cratel back together and that was not there a month ago. It came out of nowhere. I think your right its part of the evap system but where the hell does it go. I checked everywhere.

Looks like the evap vent? Line...

You should be able to access the evap box by removing the right rear wheel and remove the wheel house liner for inspection of the evap components.

Well I found out what happened. Friend took my car for a drive and he said he was in a tight left turn and went over a big dip in the road and it tore the inner liner out. So he removed what ever was left and didn't tell me. My tires rubbed because it's tubbed and have big DR's on it. So I have no clue what components, where they are located or what they look like.
Does anybody have pictures of what it looks like??? I searched but couldn't find anything.

Well here's the thing. The next day after he dropped the car off i started to get traction control / abs codes. The code was for RR sensor fault. so after a couple weeks of resetting i decided to take a look at the sensor and i saw the wire was frayed , so when i took the tire off to fix the wire i saw that tube for the first time. Since i fix the wire i don't have anymore codes popping up. So what ever this is for it's not setting off any codes. Or i might have to go through so many cycles to set a code but so far nothing. I put over hundred miles already. Here's where i found the stuff. It's in front of the rear tire. Since the liner is gone i stuck my hand down in the rocker and pulled that stuff out. I was looking for mabey a hose or somtehing that could shine light on where that tube connected to. But i just found the damaged parts.

Upon removing the right rear wheel and wheel house liner, you may see the scope of the damage...I suspect you may find that the Tank Vent Lines are damaged to include the CANISTER, EVAP unit badly damaged....Boxed in red below
