you might want to unscrew the tube in the manifold and put a plug in it before you drive it. Its going to be putting out hot exaust

Nope, it is the AIR system.

You will have a big exhaust leak with that broken. I would not drive it that way.

I paid $18 for the piece you broke. I also bought the check valve (black piece) for $16 more just because it was old and it rattled which i believed to be my exhaust leak which went away.

That's for your AIR system. Plug it on the manifold or else it will blow out exhaust. Don't drive it like that.
