Interesting, ive never seen those on a US Market car. Maybe some kind of silencer for the intake system. Ive seen something like that on my friends Nissan SE-R.

what about for 'dampening' 'pressure bumps'?
sort of like a reserve airbox, that when the intake is cranked open theres air ready to be sucked in rather than sucking against just whats coming in from the air filter?

How about a "resonance damper" Europe has pretty strict noise limits, and the S2 makes a lotta intake noise, so...
It was probably destined for one of the smaller countries w/ even stricter mandates of the German models don't have it. I don't have PET loaded on the computer so I can't look, but is there an M *** # next to the part number? That may tell which country it was made for...

So this is resonator box is hooked up indeed solely to reduce intake noise.
