Is this stiff supposed to be so easy to take off?
Is it normal that there is dust in there?
Is it harmful that that thing is tied on with a damn ziptie?
What is that thing?

That is your crankhouse ventilation hose. it lets the air from the engine recirculate back to the airbox. It's completely normal and is a standard since the 90's on all cars as far as i know

Actually that looks like a secondary air injection system not pcv

#

that pumps air from the airbox into the exhaust manifold to fire off the cat during cold starts

#

wouldn’t worry about it, it just gets pumped out the exhaust not through the engine
