    A schematic of the air box, filter, housing, etc shows a “duct” that apparently slips into the opening of the cap that goes on the air filter box. It looks like some sort of oblong tube that may screen out large stuff. There has never been one in my filter box. Anyone seen one? I think it is part #1AA-14437-00-00.

    All the airboxes have that part. My understanding is that it's meant to manage the airlow in the box to help take advantage of the intake pulses, and to help quiet the intake noise.
    I noticed a difference when I installed it, as mine was originally missing.

    K-moe is exactly correct, you really should have it installed, "hot-rodders" remove to "get more airflow", etc.

    On the oft-misunderstod hypothesis that louder = more power.

    I'll see if I can find one close by. Shipping from BC might be on the high side. How much do you want for one in case I can't find one?

    Shipping from Point Roberts WA (I’m 300 yards from the border) is only 8-9$ so about $20 usd including part:)

    That seems more than reasonable. If I knew how to start a private conversation with you we could probably work out a deal.

    Just made my first effort at starting a conversation with you. Take a look and see if I was successful.

    That bottom part is what I am missing. If Toomanybikes has one I will get it from him, and if no I will contact Chacal unless I can find another used one.

    I started a conversation with you--or at least I think I did. Take a look, and if it isn't there let me know.
