Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what and where is the "grommet".

It can do but you can always seal it with a little silicone that will stop any future problems.

I drilled a hole in the bulkhead for mine, then used a grommet and sealant as required.

passnger side under scuttle panel you will see where some wires cables go through a gromet into car you can feed through here tape your pipe to a piece of metal and feed it through and it comes out in passenger side you will have to pull carpet back slightly (not much) you then feed it behind dash etc upto where you want it to go heres some pics of how i did mine
