the wall increases airflow speed, as i understand. not the wall itself, but the small opening leading to the main chamber

The wall at the beginning of the air path is to prevent hydrolock.

it creates an area of high pressure in the fron of the airbox, and lower in the filter compartment... thus the air speed from high pressure zone to low pressure zone increases

at least that's what i think
