Abstract:
A first downstream part of an intake manifold has a first downstream passage configured to communicate with an intake port of a first cylinder head. A second downstream part of the intake manifold has a second downstream passage configured to communicate with an intake port of a second cylinder head. An upstream part is coupled to the first downstream part and the second downstream part. The upstream part is arranged upstream from the first and second downstream parts in the flow direction of intake air and has a first upstream passage and a second upstream passage. The material of the first downstream part and the material of the second downstream part both have higher rigidity than the material of the upstream part.

Claim (Index 4):
An intake manifold configured to be coupled to a first bank and a second bank of a V-type internal combustion engine, the intake manifold comprising:\n a first downstream passage member, which has a downstream end configured to be coupled to the first bank and an upstream end on an opposite side to the downstream end; a second downstream passage member, which has a downstream end configured to be coupled to the second bank and an upstream end on an opposite side to the downstream end; and an upstream passage member, which is directly or indirectly coupled to the upstream end of the first downstream passage member and the upstream end of the second downstream passage member, wherein the first downstream passage member, the second downstream passage member, and the upstream passage member are separate bodies from one another, and a material of the first downstream passage member and a material of the second downstream passage member both have a higher rigidity than a material of the upstream passage member.
