ABSTRACT:
The present invention involves an air induction system for inducing ambient air to a vehicle engine. The system comprises an air filter for filtering the ambient air, a clean air duct, a sensor, and a flow conditioning device. The clean air duct is in fluid communication with the air filter and has first and second ends. The first end is connected to the air filter. The sensor is mounted adjacent the second end of the duct. The sensor is configured to receive the ambient air. The flow conditioning device is mounted in the clean air duct and includes an outer body having an air inlet end and an air outlet end. The flow conditioning device has a configuration of connected inner walls disposed within the body and spaced apart from each other by radially increasing intervals from the center of the configuration.
