Porsche has been tuning this for a long time to give us better top end power and that nice big fat torque curve that gets us out of corners quickly.
I don't know the answer to this, just raising the question. Tuning an intake/exhaust is a lot more like tuning a musical instrument than we realize. It would be disappointing to remove the res. box and get a narrowing of the torque curve and lose 10hp in the process. Faster good, Slower bad! Any Porsche racing techs in the know on this?

This little box is most likely for noise abatement alone. It doesn't have the volume to make much of an impact on the pressure waves of the intake flow.
