that would be part of the EGR or SMOG tube that comes off the headers.
If you have smog check in your state you need it if you dont have emissions checks chuck it and cap off the headers, you dont need it.

I wouldn't put any sort of serious heat anywhere near that crud covered valve cover....
Since the tube is already damaged, cut it off, move all the stuff you can out of the way, and then put the correct size 6-point socket on the nut. A 12-point, an open end wrench or a crescent wrench are going to simply round the nut off... its very soft.
