Blow molded components and systems and methods for forming the same are disclosed. The blow molded component may be an air duct, for example, a structural air duct. The structural air duct may include a hollow main body including a first layer of a first material and a second layer of a second material surrounding the first layer. At least one hollow protrusion may extend from the hollow main body and may include proximal and distal portions. The proximal portion may include the first layer surrounded by the second layer and the distal portion may include only one of the first and second layers. The duct may be formed by blow molding a multi-material parison. The first and second materials may have different tensile moduli, and during the molding process the material with the higher modulus may tear and allow the lower modulus material to fill the protrusion.
