Abstract:
The present disclosure provides air intake ports and/or intake manifolds having an altered configuration to improve the efficiency of the air intake ports, intake manifolds, and by extension, the engine.

Claim (Index 14):
An air intake apparatus comprising:\n a tubular member having an inlet and an outlet, the tubular member having a bend positioned between the inlet and the outlet; the tubular member having a first axis length and a second axis length at portions of the tubular member upstream of the bend; the tubular member having a third axis length and a fourth axis length at the bend; the tubular member having a fifth axis length and a sixth axis length at portions downstream of the bend;\n wherein the third axis length is greater than the first axis length and the second axis length is greater than the fourth axis length; \n the tubular member has a first cross-sectional area at a location upstream or downstream of the bend, and a second cross-sectional area at the bend that is substantially equal to the first cross-sectional area; an elbow section having an inlet and an outlet, the outlet of the elbow section coupled to an intake manifold; the elbow section including a bend having a first turn near the inlet of the elbow section and a second turn near the outlet of the elbow section, wherein the first turn and the second turn cooperate to change a direction of air flow through the elbow section;\n a substantially straight section connecting the first turn and the second turn; \n a first bulge section adjacent to the first turn; and \n a second bulge section adjacent to the second turn, wherein the first bulge section and the second bulge section are configured to maintain flow uniformity and reduce pressure drop of the air flow.
