what is this? pic inside

Messing around under the hood today and took out the 2 baffles in the air box to see if there was a difference (didn't notice anything btw) and I see these 2 things connected to the back of the air box. They have a rubber hose that runs thru both of them and one has an electrical plug on it. The rubber hose then runs down to the air box tray where it turns into a metal hose. Just wondering what these were.

The cylindrical object is a vacuum accumulator.
The solenoid and tubing are for the VFAD
