  • Modular resonator
    Patent number: 7225780
    Abstract: A modular air induction system for a vehicle is provided. The air induction system includes a housing, a partition, and a plurality of holding members. The housing defines a chamber and includes an opening in fluid communication with the chamber. A partition is located within the housing to separate the chamber into a first and second volume thereby changing attenuation characteristics of the chamber. The partition is fixed within the chamber by at least one first holding member, thereby defining a first partition location. In addition, at least one second holding member is located within the housing and is adapted to receive the partition, thereby defining a second partition location.
