Is the Flex hose to which you refer the pre-heat hose (aluminum hose that runs from air box to engine block)? YES

Is that Ok for the engine not have the pre-heat hose there ? No risks of anything getting in there ?

On the Manifold side,It just draws the hot air up, it goes nowhere. On the Air box side, All the air goes through the filter before continueing on. Maybe a mouse could cause problems, chewing up the filter.

Wouldn't it be better to 'plug' the end of the pre-heat hose where it connects to the air box?

You could. The dopey Preheater hose tend to break right where it connects to the Exhaust manifold So I thought it made for a cleaner look to just remove.
