They're resonator chambers. I'm pretty sure they tune out undesireable intake noise.

Do you mean from the front face PAST the plastics or from behind the forks on down?

The resonator chambers are the only "bulky" things mounted on the bottom of the ram air tube that the carbon ones don't have. It should be fine. The only difference should be slightly louder intake noise
