My new HPS post MAF tubes installed

I got home from a bus. trip last night and my new HPS post MAF tubes had arrived from Corsport. I installed them this morning. It was a fairly easy install once I came to the conclusion that I had to do as the instructions indicated and remove the strut bar. The new tubes are much thicker than the stock tubes and should provide better insualting qualities than the stock tubes, and the look much better, IMO. I went for a drive and It did seem that throttle response was slightly improved, but that may just be wishful thinking on my part. I already have the K&N drop ins so I think that this will be my final intake mod. Here are some pics. The last pic is of the stock driver side tube. What is the purpose of the chamber hanging from it? There was no provision for it on the new tubes, and I didn't notice any negative effects from not having it.
