Air Box Resonator question (2023 CX-5 2.5T)

[N7turbo]

Referring to what looks like a magazine at the bottom of the intake, has anyone removed this chamber, and what were your observations?

I assume you are looking for “catch can” levels of fluid in that chamber?

No. It's just an air chamber to alter/quiet the sound of the intake.

I thought the purpose of that part also is trying to collect bigger and heavier objects to prolong the air filter life.
