yeah, very strange, but i think you were right about it serving as an airbypass system... smaller tubes connect with the metal pipes running along the exhaust shield in the picture...

I need to replace this part fast, its starting to bubble around the neck of the bottle and just seems like its very very old, could use a new one as preventative maintainence as well... :-)
