How to make sure if I have enough returns in my finished basement?
After you install your returns. Leave the basement door slightly open. Run the system. See if the door blows open or closed, or doesn't move at all. If it blows open, you need more return, if it closes, you have too much return in the basement. If it doesn't move, good chance you have very close to the amount of return you need for the amount of supplies in the basement.

That pipe is there to let you know there is a problem with your a/c unit in the attic.
