Two embodiments of induction systems for internal combustion engines that improve mid range performance by providing a reflective device in the air inlet for the induction system that reflects negative pressure pulses back into the induction system so as to balance the pressure and reduce the deleterious effects of pulsations. In one embodiment, the reflective device is a fixed obturating member while in the other embodiment, the reflective device is an adjustably positioned valve member that is positioned in response to engine operating conditions such as engine speed.

In an induction system for an internal combustion engine having an inlet port for admitting a charge to a variable volume chamber of said engine, a first conduit extending from said inlet port to a plenum chamber, means for sequential opening and closing said inlet port for generating pulses in said first conduit means, a second conduit extending from said plenum chamber and providing the sole atmospheric air inlet to said plenum chamber and reflective means adapted to extend across a portion of said atmospheric air inlet for reflecting pulses emanating from the opening and closing of said inlet port back into said induction system for reducing pulsations in said induction system.
