Just wondered what people consider is the purpose of these.
Are they for intake noise reduction or for pulse tuning? Or both?


Alfa spend a fortune on tuning the intake and exhaust systems to ensure

Indeed they do.

The Mk5 RS2000 was acoustically tuned to sound like an Alfa, as was the
MX-5. Both pretty successfully as well.
