Abstract
An integrated air intake system may include an integrated body formed by combining a cylinder head cover at the top of an engine with an air cleaner body at a side of the cylinder head cover, an air duct connected to a side of the air cleaner body to make a channel for air sucked from the outside into the air cleaner body, an upper cover combined in contact with the air cleaner body at the top thereof, an intake hose connected to a side of the upper cover to supply purified air to an engine intake port, and an intake filter disposed in a space formed in the air cleaner body and the upper cover to purify the air sucked from the outside.
