Excuse me, what is the lung-like box connected to the intake pipe on the hood of a sports car? Ferrari, Audi R8, Lamborghini and other engines

That's the intake manifold. There are throttles, intake pipes and air filters on both sides.

This function is very simple. After the air on both sides is inhaled, the airflow on the left and right cylinder heads is distributed through the so-called lung intake manifold. It looks nothing outside. In fact, there are many pipes below. It is connected with the cylinder heads on both sides and is made of aluminum and plastic.

In short, it is the intake manifold that controls the recent and distributed airflow!
