An air resonator for an air intake system includes a plurality of serially positioned increasing volume chambers. Air passing to the engine passes through these chambers. Noise passing from the engine back towards the source of air will also pass through these increasing volume chambers. As the noise serially passes through the increasing and then decreasing volume, the noise is dissipated.

1. An air intake system for an engine comprising:a vehicle engine having an air intake port communicating with a source of air; and an air resonator mounted between said engine and said source of air, said air resonator having a plurality of chambers which are encountered serially by air passing from said source to said engine, said chambers having a volume which changes along a flow path, and which ends with a restriction leading into a next adjacent chamber, said air passes in a first direction, and then is bent back in a second direction generally opposed to said first direction into said engine.
