Is it that silly flexible pipe that is always missing that goes from the exhaust manifold to the air cleaner intake?

what is a heat stove
The THERMAC air cleaner operates by heated air and manifold vacuum. Air can enter the air cleaner from outside the engine compartment or from a heat stove built around the exhaust manifold. A vacuum diaphram motor, built into the air cleaner snorkle, moves a damper door, to admit hot air from the exhaust manifold, outside air, or a combination of both. Inside the air cleaner is a temperature sensor that reacts to air intake temperature and controls the amount of vacuum going to the motor.
Hot Air Delivery Mode. When the temperature is below 30°C (86°F), the sensor allows vacuum to the motor and the damper door will be up, shutting off outside air and allowing only heated air from the exhaust manifold to enter the air cleaner.
Outside Air Delivery Mode. When the temperature is above 55°C (131°F), the damper door drops down and only outside air enters the air cleaner.
Regulating Mode. Between 30°C (86°F) and 55°C (131°F) the damper door allows both heated and outside air to enter the air cleaner.
