inlet manifold question

Good morning all:

I bolted up a new inlet manifold on my SV to accomodate my new Weber.  When I
removed the original manifold, I noted on cylinder four only, there was a ring
which fit into the inlet port.  It is made of springy metal, perhaps 3/8'
wide, not a complete circle to allow it to compress.  I could not get it back
in so the manifold would seat, so I did not install it (especially since the
other cylinders did not have it).  The obvious questions: What is it?  Is it
important?  Will my tail pipe now fall off at 60 MPH?

All thoughts appreciated, thanks.

Bill
