What are these for?

As I was cleaning my RB intake, (see this thread) I noticed some things that I have no clue what it's for. So, for those more mechanically inclined than I,

what the heck is this:


This seemingly useless plastic piece connects to the right side of the accordion intake tube. I've tried blowing in the hole but it seems sealed and the air goes nowhere.



Also, not related to the intake, what the heck are these 2 thingamajiggers for?

I recall reading somewhere the 1st is just a resonator. 3rd I believe is ABS system. Cant visualise the 2nd one.

The first one reduces intake noice by reverberating the pulse back upon itself.

the second one looks like the air pump control.


Third is the abs pump.

note: having read the previous posts, everyone hit their marks
