Abstract: An intake tube for an air intake system of a vehicle is provided. The air intake system is located upstream of an intake manifold and includes an intake enclosure and an air precleaner. The intake tube directs a flow of air from the intake enclosure to the air precleaner. The intake tube comprises a first end section, a second end section and a curved section. The first end section is connected to the intake enclosure and has a first longitudinal axis. An inner surface of the first end section defines a first section air passage. The second end section is connected to the air precleaner and has a second longitudinal axis. The inner surface of the second end section defines a second section air passage. The curved section is located between the first and second end sections. The curved section has a third longitudinal axis. An inner surface of the curved section defines a curved air passage. The curved section includes a compressed portion having a minor dimension and a major dimension.
