A 1LE intake elbow should take care of that.

Yes. There won't be a performance gain with removing it...even with deleting it with the 1LE...

Apparently it is designed to reduce noise from the air passing through the elbow. Changes the harmonics or something.

Nope.

The donkey dong is actually called a Reinholz resonator...

When I was in a Mobility unit in Germany, we called the big metal gas can filler nozzle's the 'donkey *****'

I can't reason spending $70+ right now for aesthetics, after spending over $7000 on this 383, I'm just going to plug the hole then.
