Best Answer

An intake manifold directs air (air/fuel mixture on carburated engines) to the cylinder head. Depending on the runner length/diameter it can boost torque in a certain rpm range known as "manifold tuning". For example short runners works better for high rpm engines versues a long runner manifold, which is better for low/mid range power.
