Help! Found loose part under car; please help I.D.

Pulled out of the garage and found a black rubber piece and have no idea where it came from. I did just recently add the Fabspeed CAI and changed my filter so I was jiggling around in the engine bay. It has a number on it: 999 703 478 40. Pics are attached. Please advise,
thanks

If you just removed the OEM airbox, it could be the rubber grommet which locates the plastic pins on the bottom of the airbox (sits between airbox and where the airbox sits in the engine bay)
Have a look at the botoom of your airbox to see if it fits over the plastic pins.

Isn't the flux capacitor what makes time travel possible while the car itself runs on its internal combustion engine? Just trying to recollect my memories from "Back to the Future."

Isn't that part of the Fetzer Valve?

"Hey! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State."

That would be scary to pull out of the garage and find parts that fell out of the car. Glad all was resolved.
