Abstract
An intake system of an engine comprises an intake module, in which a throttle body joint portion and an upstream portion of an intake manifold are formed in a single structure, and a downstream portion of the intake manifold extending from an engine body. A downstream end of the intake module is joined to the downstream portion of the intake manifold and an end portion of the intake module opposite to its portion joined to the downstream portion of the intake manifold is connected to an uppermost part of an oil filler pipe which is connected to the engine body. In this construction, the intake module is supported by the engine body via the oil filler pipe.
