Maybe it just wasn't seated properly or tight enough the other way. I was missing 1 wing nut and the remaining nut was loose. That made a huge difference when I replaced it.I don't have an answer as to why it reduces the noise. I just know when I flipped the air inlet to the drivers side it cut down on the noise. Attaching some sort of an air induction hose to the air cleaner housing helps as well.
I also found a few holes in the fire wall. One from a missing wire grommet and the other from a torn speed cable grommet. A few squirts of a black urethane caulk and I can now hear myself think.
