A hydrocarbon (HC) trap positioned in an intake conduit of an engine is provided. The HC trap includes a stack of consecutively layered polymeric sheets with at least a portion of the sheets impregnated with a HC vapor adsorption/desorption material, the stack of sheets extending from a first exterior surface to a second exterior surface. 1. A hydrocarbon (HC) trap positioned in an intake conduit of an engine comprising:a stack of consecutively layered polymeric sheets with at least a portion of the sheets impregnated with a HC vapor adsorption/desorption material, the stack of sheets extending from a first exterior surface to a second exterior surface, the stack of sheets including a first raised section, the stack of sheets having opposite ends each having a bend.2. The HC trap of claim 1 , further comprising a reinforcing rib extending along a flange of the stack claim 1 , where the stack of sheets has no adsorption/desorption material positioned between the sheets claim 1 , and wherein the sheets are formed into a unitary rigid structure.3. The HC trap of claim 1 , further comprising fasteners for coupling to an air box.4. The HC trap of claim 2 , where the HC vapor adsorption/desorption material includes one or more of carbon claim 2 , activated carbon claim 2 , zeolites claim 2 , hydrophobic cellulose claim 2 , silicon oils claim 2 , cyclodextrins or any other HC adsorbing/desorbing materials.5. The HC trap of claim 2 , where the HC vapor adsorption/desorption material includes loose adsorption particles.6. The HC trap of claim 1 , where the HC trap does not include adhesive between the sheets.7. The HC trap of claim 1 , where the sheets are non-woven polyester sheets and the HC vapor adsorption/desorption material is activated carbon.8. The HC trap of claim 1 , where a first polymeric sheet claim 1 , included in the stack of sheets claim 1 , forms the first exterior surface and a second polymeric sheet claim 1 , included in the stack of sheets claim 1 , forms ...
