ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an intake apparatus which ensures the collision safety by having sufficient clearance margin to the engine hood by utilizing the space around the intake manifold which is not conventionally utilized, while achieving cost reduction by reduction in parts count and assembling time.The third member14covers the first member10in which the first room24is formed and the second member12in which the second room38is formed. The third room54which is formed in the third member14connects the first room24and the second room38. With this structure, the second room38can be disposed adjacent to the first room24at almost the same height. Consequently, the height of the intake apparatus can be lowered, and the clearance between the intake apparatus and the engine hood can be enlarged. In addition, the intake air amount can be increased.
