An intake box is an empty chamber on the intake side of most modern internal combustion engines. It collects air from outside and feeds it to the intake hoses of each cylinder. It also protects the air filter from the various harsh elements that could potentially weaken and damage it. This allows the air filter to do its job of filtering out any impurities in the air before it flows into the engine.
Unlike older cars that used the venturi effect to draw air in using their carburetors, newer, fuel-injected engines draw air into an intake box that is connected directly to the intake ports. This allows the use of one air filter instead of many and allows the designers to exploit the properties of air to improve performance.
The design and shape of the intake box can have a drastic effect on the size of the filter it can house and how it handles air flow. Air intake boxes are also known by several names such as ram-air intake boxes, air filter boxes and cold air boxes, just to name a few.
