It goes back into the inlet duct. The Apexi comes with a alloy delete pipe does it not? There is a small take off pipe on the delete that the loose pipe goes too. It can also be left to vent to atmos'.
Just one question. Why have you removed a perfectly capable OE air-box and replaced it with, imho, an inferior product that is now drawing in warm/less dense air instead of nice cold/denser air??
Your filter is only inches away from a hot rocker cover, not to mention the super hot air rising up the same gap from the headers. This can only decrease bhp!!

it won't be drawing in hot air as i have a s/s box to cover it up and a ram pipe from front bumper to the inner wing, but thank's for your reply.

It seems to be a lot of fekking about and un-nessisary expense for very minimal, if any gains.
A KnN or Green panel filter fitted in the OE box would be a far better/safer option and would give 'proven' gains. Also with a 'ram' feed from the front you are at risk of water ingress into the MAF and engine alike. All imho of course.
