Interchangeable intake manifold assemblies

An interchangeable intake assembly, comprising:

• a gooseneck member fixedly attached to an automotive intake airbox within an engine bay of an automobile, the gooseneck member having a first end opening and a second end opening, the gooseneck member having an interior cavity configured to direct air into an automobile intake airbox from the second end opening to the first end opening through the interior cavity;
• a plurality of candidate interchangeable bell housings, each interchangeable bell housing being configured to be removably secured to the second end opening of the gooseneck member via at least one fastener securing through the interchangeable bell housing and bottoming out in the gooseneck member, each candidate interchangeable bell housing having a frustoconical shaped cross section on at least one plane and one or more grooves;
• and
• wherein the gooseneck member comprises one or more flanges disposed on an outer portion of the gooseneck member, each of the one or more flanges being dimensioned to removably secure to one of the one or more grooves on a selected interchangeable bell housing, of the plurality of interchangeable candidate bell housings, by direct adjoinment on at least three sides.

An interchangeable intake assembly, comprising:

• a base member being defined by an aperture configured to receive and engage an automobile intake airbox, the base member being further defined by a perimeter surrounding the aperture and having one or more fasteners or apertures configured to receive the fasteners dimensioned to avoid disturbing the automobile intake airbox, the base member being formed of a rigid material;
• a gooseneck member fixedly attached to the base member, the gooseneck member having a first end opening and a second end opening, the first end opening being in fluid communication with the aperture, the gooseneck member having an interior cavity configured to direct air into the automobile intake airbox from the second end opening to the first end opening through the interior cavity;
• a plurality of candidate interchangeable bell housings, each of the candidate interchangeable bell housings being configured to be removably secured to the second end opening of the gooseneck member and having a frustoconical shaped cross section on at least one plane and one or more grooves and configured to receive air through a forward automotive intake grille arranged in front of the interchangeable bell housing when a selected interchangeable bell housing, of the plurality of candidate interchangeable bell housings, is installed on the gooseneck member, such that the selected interchangeable bell housing is visible through the forward automotive intake grille;
• and one or more flanges disposed on an outer portion of the gooseneck member, each of the one or more flanges dimensioned to interchangeably and removably secure to one of the one or more grooves of the selected interchangeable bell housing by direct adjoinment on at least three sides.
