Below the intake manifold (the large air duct where you change the air filter), is the thermostat housing. The heater hose runs out of the thermostat housing, over the exhaust pipe, to the firewall between the engine compartment and the passenger compartment. Some have a metal section of pipe connected between the thermostat housing and the typical rubber heater hose.
