Its all about the volume of that bottle, and the location/distance from the throttle body. The volume is meant to dampen shockwaves from the valves opening and closing. Doing so aligns the waves to be more in sync with the rpm's at a certain range. Changing the volume of that tank basically changes what rpm the torque hits

Its basically the same theory behind the design of the intake manifold plenum and runners. You have a ton of different variations in runner length and plenum size depending on the build of the engine, way its driven, etc.
They have these plugs that expand you can get at AutoZone. There is a whole thread about it somewhere. It'll make it look cleaner. But I'm down with the "you gotta do what you gotta do" life lol
