It's a can that catches engine spooge.
No, a stock XB vents into the intake.
Do a search for catch can, there'll be more than enough reading to keep you busy for a while.

Ah, crankcase vent oil collection. How much/what is gained by added one of these?

Some say power, some say a clean throttle body, some say it makes no difference.

Open air box (Usually a big hole in the air box) lets more air into the intake.
More air more gas more power.
Of course there's some debate over weather or not a stock ECM can handle it without running lean.
A Race ECM handles it pretty well.
If you have ECMSpy you can tune it for substantial power gains.
