1998 Forester-What is this part called and do?

that's a resonator or something I think - noise cancelation I guess.

Oh, my. I think Sigmund Freud could answer that question best.

wrong mounted? this component on my Forester 99 points the other side and downwards.

Also the bottom side of the tube is formed so as to accomodate the spark plug wires to pass below it. It might be the case that it really doesn't matter what position it is in.

I wonder if Subaru knows what it is for! :)

I believe you're close to the answer. My guess would be that it has to do with tuning the intake so that when pressure waves bounce back and forth they arrive at the intake valve just as it opens. Or maybe not.

It is a resonator chamber. AFAIK, it is to help damp out pulsations in the intake air flow and make the readings from the MAF sensor more accurate.

Thanks Joe. I appreciate the information. Have a good day.
