Abstract
An air induction system for a vehicle having an engine includes a housing, a filter and an acoustic resonator. The housing includes a first housing member, a second housing member, and an air flow path passing through the housing. The filter is located within the housing and disposed in the air flow path for removing debris from intake air. The acoustic resonator is integrally formed with the first housing member and is operative to reduce noise generated by the engine.
