  • Patent number: 9709195
    Abstract: A conduit for an air induction system includes a duct and a flexible sealing cuff. The duct includes a first duct end, is generally cylindrical, and defines a channel. The flexible sealing cuff includes a first cuff end and is generally cylindrical. The flexible sealing cuff is carried at the first duct end of the duct. A bonded joint secures the first cuff end of the flexible sealing cuff to the first duct end of the duct. The flexible sealing cuff may be at least substantially disposed within the channel such that the flexible sealing cuff shields the channel from the bonded joint.
