Air intake tube for an internal combustion engine

An air intake tube for an internal combustion engine with at least two banks of cylinders;

• said intake tube including a first group of intake ducts for one of the two cylinder banks and a second group of intake ducts for the other of the two cylinder banks;
• the first group of intake ducts extending from a first manifold chamber and the second group of intake ducts extending from a second manifold chamber;
• wherein said air intake tube comprises first and second units joined releasably together;
• said first unit comprising said first group of intake ducts and said first manifold chamber, and said second unit comprising said second group of intake ducts and said second manifold chamber, and said first and second manifold chambers communicating with one another, and wherein the respective manifold chambers of said first and second units communicate with one another through two releasable junctions, and a resonance valve is disposed in one of the two junctions.
