my guess is to let water out if it gets in the box or another place to get more air in. But hey stock stuff sucks better off with a cold air intake system.

i dont recall that part being there when i took mine off... but its most likely for water... the stock tubing that brings air into ur intake also has a small gizmo that looks like its for that purpose

Its clearly marked in the online manual - its called a resonance chamber - its function is to smooth out the airflow and absorb the various eddies created by TB closing etc. If you remove it the car will sound *slightly* different.
