The caps were placed there to prevent a gurgling noise when the car is on motion, as air tries to go up the tube and water down. They were added at some point in 9000 production. These “duck bills” are commonly used on heavy equipment air filters and where ever a one way valve is needed to restrict air flow and pass liquid or dust.
