dont worry about that crap thats the resinator u dont need at. all its there to do is route air to filter. pull out any other pieces that are there. all that stuff is meant to quiet air flow.
It prevents water from splashing directly into the filter box, and as you said it is a resonator, and it is designed to cancel out sound waves from the intake manifold inside the box for a quieter ride.
