What's this vacuum hose for?

Sorry no photo... but I noticed a vacuum hose hanging down next to my driver's side exhaust. There's a little clip on it that looks like it's supposed to attach to the body panel and there's a screw in the end plugging the hose. Car is a 2009 335I Xdrive E92

It's for getting high. Lay on the floor, put that puppy in yer mouth, take a few hits, and relax.

Or it's for the vacuum operated exhaust valve that's part of the stock exhaust system. See "golf tee mod".

I'll look into the golf tee in a bit. Does the screw in the end of the hose mean that someone already did this mod?

No, your "screw mod" is different, as it's a "screw" and not a "golf tee" or a "Baby Groot" shoved up in the line.

Yes, more than likely someone already did the mod, you goof. Educate yourself before asking ridonkulus questions.

Love your avatar, racermp. LOL

OP, since you already saw the screw in the line I would hope you already looked around for what the line normally connects to (hint, not to a Baby Groot).

Watch this vid by Tara, a cutie and member here, for clues. It's possible someone replaced your stock exhaust so you may not see the same stuff, but you'll get the picture.
