That Flex Pipe goes under teh radiator and into teh Air Filter Box. It will not affect anything.
Many of us take it off. When it works as intended it is supposed to help warm the engine up faster in an attempt to help the Emissions. In reality it is useless. I see my gauge climb at the same pace, as I drive through my Neighborhood, the same with or without it.
There is a Thermostat in the Air box that stops the flow of hot air as it gets very hot, .. If it goes bad ( and they do) this hot air from the Exhaust manifold continues to run past the AMM and puts undie strain on the electronics in the AMM. Maybe fixing yours wasn't a great idea
