Abstract

An intake manifold includes a surge tank, an inlet pipe, and intake pipes. The surge tank includes a curved portion and a bulging portion. The curved portion forms a curved outer wall of the surge tank and includes an inner surface that is continuous with inner surfaces of entrances of the intake pipes. The bulging portion bulges into the surge tank toward the curved portion and overlaps with an imaginary extension of an exit of the inlet pipe into the surge tank. The bulging portion includes a flow changing portion. The flow changing portion is configured to direct a flow of intake air toward a section that is more interior into the surge tank than the bulging portion in relation to the inlet pipe and located on part of the inner surface of the surge tank that is continuous with the inner surface of the curved portion.
