The original airbox design has a thick-wall construction which helps lower the sound/noise coming back up, from the intake.

The original airbox design is light weight.

The original airbox design has a right-angle diffuser section, which, again helps knock the noise level down, and does a great job of keeping rain-water out of the engine.

That's all that comes to mind.
Who knows; perhaps the original airbox design has the nozzle location to help draw air-flow over the CDI too. (?) 'those Germans' doncha know.
