I think it's just a different style of PCV valve.

That big hose takes air to the air pump that's in the front left bumper cavity. It's part of your secondary air injection system (emissions).

The valve covers/PCV's changed in 04 to a screw in metal PCV. Function is the same.

It's part of a fairly complicated system that reduces bad emissions after a cold start. For the first few minutes (while the engine is warming up), the pump will push fresh air into the exhaust manifold to help clean up the unburned hydrocarbons. This is one reason why the S2000 is considered a Low Emissions Vehicle. Once the car warms up, the pump no longer functions. Without it, this car would most likely fail emissions testing.

FYI, for your track junkies, I'd thought the 04's PCV is less likely to cause you to be Super Smokey, but that's not the case still need a catch can
