what is this part for (in the airfilter box)

[Olivier]

It is to make the air flow easily, its odd as it look useless?
Cheers.

I would hazard a guess at speeding up air flow and noise reduction.

Google ram air or inlet trumpets.

Quite so - it reduces the pressure drop you would have with a sharp edged pipe end.

It provides a hint that manufacturers take great care about designing the air intake systems for their engines.

Thank you.

Sudden discontinuities in air or liquid pipework systems cause resistance to flow rate and turbulence.
Every little helps (as they say)

that is a trumpet

 

[nick.ged]

trumpets are used in many air boxes

 

[nick.ged]

trumpets cause the airflow to be maximized using the rules of orifices
