Air Induction System

Air Cleaner Assembly:

Air Cleaner Duct Vent:

DESCRIPTION
The air intake system consists of the components shown in images.

Outside air is drawn through the front air intake duct (snorkel), resonator air cleaner inlet, air cleaner outlet duct, and throttle body unit. The air is then directed into the plenum intake runners, cylinder head and into the cylinders.

This system utilizes a front mounted resonator duct to limit induction noise. Engine events send noise waves out through the induction system. The resonator duct modifies certain frequency noise waves. These modified noise waves, (180° out of phase), return to cancel newly formed engine event noise waves, resulting in lower induction noise. Removal of the resonator would result in increased induction noise, especially during acceleration.
