Without looking at it, I'd guess they are baffles to cut intake noise down.

It's either that or intake tuning. Either way, I chose to keep mine intact on the Talon when I installed a snorkel. The Talon's air intake is in a terrible location, the snorkel isn't for water, it's for cleaner air plus an oiled foam prefilter.
