Off topic but its a ford i was just curious. Intake extension on a grand marque

I figured most of here are ford guys, my grandma just got a 2004 grand marque (crown vic) and on the intake it has an extension off of the intake tube after the filter but before the MAS. This extension is like 2 by 8 inches. It has no sensors plugged into it and it is permanently attached. Any one have any idea what purpose this extension serves?

Happy Holidays!!!

If you mean the "branch" that's attached to it and goes nowhere it's supposed to cut down on intake noise. Basically just make it quieter...

They call it an intake silencer or muffler.Lots of cars (most) have them.Many get thrown in the closet...
