ABSTRACT:
A composite air intake manifold includes a header and runners having communicating passages. The composite intake manifold is fashioned from carbon fiber cloth which is preferably impregnated with resin and cured between a meltable core mold and a split outside mold. The carbon fiber cloth is oriented throughout the manifold to give the manifold maximum pressure resisting capability with minimum thickness and weight. Because virtually any shape may be adopted for the interior passages of the header and the runners, the interior passages of the header and runners may be shaped to enhance air flow through the manifold.
