It's the elbow/pipe that connects the mass airflow sensor to the throttle body. You can buy ones that go outside the engine bay into the fender area. It helps get cooler air into the TB. When you make the air more dense going into the TB it makes more HP.

RE: cold air intake
The only thing about getting a CAI intake is if you live in a Smog legal city and the intake you buy doesnt have the C.A.R.B. sticker on it, it wont pass smog and if a cop decides to take a look under your hood he can flag you for a ticket.
