What are these pieces on the intake?

Here is the page with the part number, but I can't get a confirmation of the official part name from it:

Yeah, the tubes coming to the intake pipes almost certainly are involved with the PCM system judging from their origin. However I wonder why all the funky shapes are involved and why only the driver side has the lower piece on it. I doubt it is to catch any buildup from the PCV because it does not have a drain hole or any service information with it either. My old cars had hard PCV pipes that went straight from the valve covers to the intakes with smooth bends and 90* angles. Interesting to note that none of the aftermarket intakes replace the molded black pieces, just provide connective material. Wonder if they know something we dont?
