Charge Air Cooler Duct and Resonator

A super-stabilized PA 4/6 resin is used to mold a combination hot-side charge air cooler duct plus resonator in a unique shape that accommodates a difficult packaging environment. Doing so eliminates 1 sub-component , delivering corrosion-free performance for longer life, improved captive screw retention, enables improved seal design and retention, reduces weight 32% and cost 42% vs. the metal predecessor.  It also allows the resonator to be incorporated as an insert for easier acoustic tuning and flexibility to use the same part in a similar package with different acoustic requirements.
