Tunable air intake system
An air intake system for a two-stroke or four-stroke internal combustion engine that is tunable through the use of interchangeable velocity stacks.
1. A tunable air intake system comprising,
an intake boot having a first end opening and a second end opening, wherein the first end opening has a larger cross-section than the second end opening,
one or more interchangeable velocity stacks, each velocity stack having a first end and a second funnel-shaped end such that removably connecting the first end of a velocity stack to the second end opening in the intake boot causes the second funnel-shaped end of the velocity stack to extend through the second end opening in the intake boot into the intake boot.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the intake boot is injection molded out of thermoplastic urethane.
3. A tunable air intake system comprising,
an intake boot having a first end opening and a second end opening, wherein the first end opening has a larger cross-section than the second end opening,
one or more interchangeable velocity stacks, each velocity stack having a first end, a length and a second funnel-shaped end,
means for removably connecting the first end of a velocity stack to the second end opening in the intake boot such that the second funnel-shaped end of the velocity stack extends through the second end opening of the intake boot into the intake boot.
4. The system of claim 3 wherein the means for removably connecting the first end of a velocity stack to the second end opening in the intake boot further comprises
a flange on an exterior surface of the second end opening in the intake boot, and
a lip on the exterior surface of the first end of the velocity stack such that the lip slips over the flange on the exterior surface of the second end opening in the intake boot when the second end of the velocity stack is inserted through the second end opening in the intake boot into the intake boot.
5. The system of claim 4 further comprising a ring to connect the first end of a velocity stack to a carburetor/throttle body.
6. The system of claim 3 wherein the means for removably connecting the first end of a velocity stack to the second end opening in the intake boot further comprises
a flange around an exterior surface of the first end of the velocity stack, and
an indentation around an interior surface of the second end opening in the intake boot such that the flange fits into the indentation when the second end of the velocity stack is inserted through the second end opening in the intake boot into the intake boot.
7. The system of claim 6 further comprising
an indentation around an interior surface of the first end of a velocity stack, disposed to fit over a flange on an exterior surface of an extension of a carburetor/throttle body.
