Plastic Part behind motor, what is this?

Does anyone know what the part in the image is (Attached). One of the mounting tabs is broken on my vehicle and it's making a lot of racket. I want to break it off so it stops making noise, but don't want to do so if it it's important.


Thanks

That is for the the alternator. its kinda like a fresh air intake for it. so its not sucking the hot heat off the turbo and exhaust manifold
