<p>An intake system for a V-type engine comprises a surge tank (6), a common intake pipe upstream of the surge tank and a plurality of discrete intake pipes (8A, 8B) for connecting the respective cylinders in the cylinder banks (1A, 1B) of the V-type engine with the surge tank (6). Each of the discrete intake pipes (8A, 8B) for the cylinders in each cylinder bank (1A, 1B) comprises a U-shaped bight portion (10a, 10b) which projects from the side of the surge tank (6) remote from the cylinder bank (1A or 1B) toward the other cylinder bank (1B or 1A) and is bent toward the cylinder bank (1A or 1B), and a crossing portion (9a, 9b) which is connected between the corresponding intake port in the cylinder bank and the downstream end of the U-shaped bight portion and crosses the discrete intake pipes for the cylinders in the other cylinder bank below the surge tank.</p> |
