   Every car has a throttle body, its a butterfly which is opened depending on throttle input.

   Instead of one hole feeding 4 cylinders, there's one for each cylinder. The 'air intake' pipe isn't there, because they are the intakes, the filter (if you decide to run one) goes over the end of the trumpets.

    individual throttlebodies mean that every cylinder can get the same / maximum air needed. The benefit is you get loads of power and torque in the mid range, a bit extra at the top, the ability to run lairy cams (even more power) and a rather evocative sound.
