It is indeed a resonator. I don't see how it can smooth the air flow to the TB as the tech on the SR20DE forum said.

To block it off, go to your favorite auto parts store and ask for a 1 5/8" Expand-Tite. It's a rubber plug with a large washer on it and a bolt through it. When you tighten the nut on the bolt, the rubber plug expands tightly into the hole. Put the OEM clamp on the intake pipe before tightening the nut.
