Abstract: An active intake manifold system includes at least one flap cartridge assembly having a unitary cartridge housing including one or more flap valve housings. A flap valve is rotatable in the aperture of the flap valve housing between an open state and a closed state. A shaft is provided extending through the mounting ear apertures of the flap valves so that the flap valves change state in unison. A plurality of air intake runners provides air flow communication between the outlets of the flap valve housings and the cylinder intake valves of the engine. Each intake runner includes a main runner portion that then splits into a plurality of tracts of differing lengths with each tract tuned to a different predetermined engine speed and having a length and volume selected to optimize engine performance at the predetermined speed. The flap valves may be automatically operated by an actuator under control of an engine control system.
