I wonder if it has any effect on the air/fuel mix since it spurs off after the MAF. Does the engine idle and run as normal with it fitted?
There is a membrane in the large bit connecting the two tubes which allows vibrations to transmit but no net air flow

Yes, there is a membrane, an eardrum as such so no airflow issues. All is exactly as before in regards to cold start, idle, performance, except a better in cabin sound between 4k and 6.5k rpm…
That makes sense, so that it conducts sound without any communication between the intake manifold and cabin.
