The primary function of the air intake system is to provide filtered air to the engine. The system uses an air filter element mounted in a housing. The air filter element housing is remotely mounted. Intake ducts route the incoming air into the throttle body. The secondary function of the air intake system is to muffle air induction noise. This is achieved through the use of resonators attached to the air intake ducts. The resonators are tuned to the specific powertrain.
