Need help identifying part

Question type: Maintenance & Repair
1999 Lexus ES300 failed smog test
because the guy thinks the glue on this
part makes it look like the part has been
modified. It passed all the other tests. Told
me I have to replace the part with the
arrow but doesn't know what it's called.
And he didn't care that it has passed smog
checks for years and we never touched
that part. I don't know how to find the part
if I don't know what its called!

That is probably the air cleaner box. Do you live in the land of fruits and nuts? Smog inspectors there are terrified of the state smog Nazi's so they won't pass anything unless it is perfect.
It's a air box, going to your throttle body. The air box should have a little nipple where this air line mark with the arrow should go(probably broken).
its part of the air intake sound reducing setup. and id take it somewhere else because the guy is trying to make money off of you. it BS and id report him to the ASE CERTIFICATION BOARD.!!!
