Exclamation WTF! WHAT THE HELL'S THIS?!?!

I was replacing some jubilee clips on the 90-deg pipe from MAF to 2nd resonator (93 WRX), when I came across this unconnected socket?...





Anyone knows what it's for, etc?

Ah, you could be right, as about 2 months ago I did indeed have a decat fitted at Zen's. That said, I can't believe it'd reach though...

Thanks for the interest and confirmation folks! ... For a while there, I was worried that a major component wasn't connected up, that should've been, lol.
