This patent describes an air-intake duct of the type having a main duct wall and extending from a proximal end connected to an air cleaner on a vehicle internal combustion engine in a forward direction toward a vehicle front to a distal end away from the air cleaner. The improvement comprises a substantially horizontal distal end portion terminating in a forward end wall extending transverse the forward direction to block direct air intake from the vehicle front and having an upward opening in the main duct wall, whereby particulates are removed from intake air without complex baffling or the like.
