Plastic Turbo Resonator

The goals for this program were to reduce weight, optimize package flexibility, integrate parts, reduce cost, create best-in-class quality, and produce a part with repeatable dimensions and tuning. Benchmarking showed that no one had fully accomplished all these objectives. Through a team effort, an innovative manufacturing process was developed.  Injection molding is used to form the PA 6/6 insert, which increases structural stability, eliminates a metal ring, and precisely controls the most NVH-sensitive element.  Windows on the insert can be modified to tailor it to specific vehicle requirements. It is, in turn, insert molded in the 2D blow-molding process to form the outer resonator, whose shape flexibility contributes to the packaging requirement.
