Intake Manifold: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION
The two piece intake manifold is made of a composite material. The intake manifold features a compact, low rumble design that maximizes engine performance while minimizing induction noise. A Manifold Tuning Valve (MTV) is used on some models.

OPERATION
The intake air plenum chambers absorb air pulsations created during each cylinder's intake stroke.
The manifold tuning valve (if equipped) connects both sides of the intake manifold plenums at specific engine speeds to maximize low RPM torque, without reducing high RPM power.
