Abstract
An integrated intake module (10; 100; 200) for an internal combustion engine (22) has an air box (14) that encloses an internal space and contains a particulate filter (24) that separates a clean air space (26) from a dirty air space (28). A throttle body assembly (16) receives clean air from the air box and delivers the air to a plenum (18). Runners (20) that have respective inlets at which clean air from the plenum enters extend lengthwise to respective outlets for delivering clean air to cylinders of the engine. At least a portion of the length of each runner is disposed on the air box wall about the dirty air space.
