Nick,

When you go home tonight look through the driver side intake vent. You should be able to see the air intake system,it's a square shaped box thing-a-bob that should have this tube leading from it(you won't have the tube if you've desnorkeled). Despite the system stills being in the engine compartment it's considered a 'cold air' design because it's a closed off from the engine heat all the way to the throttle body.
