Air Inlet System Description

The primary function of the air inlet system is to provide filtered air to the engine. The system uses an air cleaner element mounted in a housing. The air cleaner assembly is remotely mounted and uses intake ducts to route the incoming air into the throttle body. The secondary function of the air inlet system is to muffle air induction noise. This is achieved by the use of resonators attached to the air inlet ducts. The resonators are tuned to the specific powertrain. The inlet air temperature (IAT) sensor is used to measure the temperature of the air entering the engine.
