Abstract
A mounting arrangement for an intake manifold and a method of making same. The mounting arrangement includes an adapter plate attached to a cylinder head of an engine. The adapter plate has at least one aperture having a smooth inner surface. The intake manifold includes at least one inlet pipe and is mounted to the adapter plate by arranging the at least one inlet pipe in the at least one aperture of the adapter plate. A securing mechanism is arranged between the at least one inlet pipe and the smooth inner surface of the at least one aperture. The mounting arrangement of the present invention substantially isolates the intake manifold from vibrations caused by the operation of the engine, which in the past have been transmitted to the intake manifold by way of mounting flanges.
