Abstract

A fresh air system component of a fresh air system serving to supply fresh air to an internal combustion engine may include a housing that may have a first shell and a second shell. The housing may delimit at least one fresh air path that may run from at least one fresh air inlet of the housing to at least one fresh air outlet of the housing. The second shell may be secured along a second shell edge to a first shell edge of the first shell. The second shell edge may be more flexible than the first shell. The second shell may have at least one second support element that may be at a distance from the second shell edge. The second support element may interact with a first support element that is complementary thereto in order to transmit at least one of a tensile force and a compressive force.
