Automakers do all kinds of things to control/direct the flow of air in
the intake passage, some have to do with quieting or changing the pitch
of the rush of air, some have to do with making MAFs work better at low
airflow levels, etc.
Problem is that none of it is one-size-fits-all, without extensive
testing and prototyping on a specific application you're as likely to do
harm as good.
