Abstract: A fresh air duct system for a vehicle that includes an engine air cleaner with an attached conduit for passing fresh air into the air cleaner. The system includes a bumper beam that has elongated upper and lower air passageways that can be in fluid flow communication with the conduit for defining an air flow path between the air cleaner and the passageways. Fresh air can be introduced into the air duct system such that at least one of the air flow passageways can simultaneously act as a sound resonator and a resonator tuner.

Abstract: A clamp device for attaching a vehicular component to a tubular member. The clamp device includes a split ring that has a latch end member, a tab end member, and a device disposed on the latch end member and the tab end member for interengaging the latch end member and the tab end member when the ring is closed around the tubular member. The clamp device further includes a component retention member that is fixedly attached to the ring for positively orienting the component on the tubular member. The retention member has a support member that is integrally formed with the ring, and a housing member that is affixed to the support member. The housing member includes a device for slidably receiving and releasably attaching the component to the ring.
