An adaptive air intake joint for an internal combustion engine comprising a molded elastomeric duct body having standing ribs constructed and arranged to provide a continuous and sufficient contact force across the face of a joint of an adjoining duct body. A clamp secured to the duct causes the ribs to provide a continuous and sufficient contact force across a seal surface, eliminating the need for constant tension clamp and improving the air intake joint seal to prevent leakage that is especially common in cold environments. 1. An adaptive air intake joint for an internal combustion engine comprising:{'b': 12', '15', '17', '15', '21', '19', '23', '14', '17', '23, 'a first duct body () having an interior surface () and an exterior surface (), said interior surface () providing a first air flow passageway () between a first end () and a receptacle end (), at least two ribs () positioned over the exterior surface () of said receptacle end ();'}{'b': 29', '31', '33', '31', '29', '32', '35', '37', '35', '23', '12', '33', '35', '15', '23', '41', '20', '14, 'a second duct body () having an interior surface () and exterior surface (), said interior surface () of said second duct body providing a second air flow passageway () between an insertion end () and a second end (), said insertion end insertable into said receptacle end () of said first duct body () with said exterior surface () of said insertion end () constructed and arranged to frictionally engage said interior surface () of said receptacle end () to form a joint (); and a clamp () positioned over said ribs ();'}{'b': 20', '14', '41', '21', '29', '19', '37, 'wherein said clamp () is tightened to cause compression of the ribs () to provide a constant pressure on the joint (), said first duct body () and said second duct body () forming a sealed passageway between said first () and second ends ().'}214. The adaptive air intake joint for an internal combustion engine according to wherein said ribs () are formed by ...
