Default Loose vacuum hose help

I’m in the middle of replacing my exhaust and when I took
Down the drivers side cat-I found this hose hanging. Any idea what it could be or where it goes? I’m thinking secondary air pump, my car throws the code every once in a while. Thank you!

Just to confirm, it’s supposed to be like that?

Except for a leaking motor mount?!

And the secondary air failure is often the N75 valve that dies. Fortunately it's easy to check and easy to replace.

Motor mounts were replaced with torque solutions mounts, so that’s just old.

Ive already replaced the n75-but I wouldn’t doubt it if was another vacuum leak; I still need to do a boost leak test...thanks for the tip!

Power steering pump leaks, blown spoiler rams, you name it! During my ownership I've replaced the power steering reservoir that dumped all over the place when it blew and the wing rams with eRams-now I'm just looking for a reason to do a GT2 clutch conversion to avoid even more pentosin in my garage.

Ugh, I hear ya! My rams just started leaking when I bought the car and I went to a static setup then GT2. Have all the GT2 slave parts sitting on the bench just waiting for some time to drop the motor and trans and tackle it. Pentosin makes a hell of a mess of the garage floor.

Unfortunately I don't have the time or equipment (not to mention skill) to drop the motor myself, so I'm just waiting until a point when I'm sure the bill to have it pulled for pinning the coolant lines, GT2 slave, and a top end workover for a variocam issue will not end my marriage - the list of 'while you are down there changes' just keeps growing...
upgraded clutch
GT2 conversion
pinning coolant pipes
intake
intercoolers
hybrid turbos
injectors
throttle body
plenum
....
