Abstract
An intake module assembly for a vehicle engine is formed from a two-piece shell structure. First and second shells are aligned and joined together to form the entire air path from an air filter to an engine cylinder head. A throttle hose portion is formed as part of at least one of the first or second shells to conduct air to the throttle body and into the intake manifold. Other induction components such as an intake manifold, resonator, air filter holder, and throttle body components are also integrated into the first and second shells.
