it's the brake booster vacuum line (yes it has a one way check valve)... it can't be removed, but it can be relocated (some people tap into the back of the plenum to hide it)... the line runs along firewall to brake booster behind master cylinder...

In Manual mode I can keep it in 5th to pass and to give it some gas...

But I seem to have a issue with the TQ Converter not locking up in M mode, need to investigate.

It's a different bracket for the 03-04 than the 05-06 and I am not sure how it setup again. I put the muffler on like 3 years ago. Just wondering if there was a thread with some pictures.

Wow. What convoluted routing!

Why couldn't they have just put it on the driver's side?!?

I guess it only makes sense in Japan.
