An intake manifold is adapted for use with an engine in a front wheel drive vehicle and a rear wheel drive vehicle, for example, with both a transversely mounted and longitudinally mounted engine. The intake manifold is modular and includes a plenum body defining a first port and a second port. A series of runners are adapted to connect to the plenum body. A throttle body connector is adapted to connect to the first port and the second port based on the engine positioning in the vehicle. An end plate is adapted to connect to the first port and the second port.
