An intake manifold is provided that includes an integrated charge air cooler and a housing having a first housing part and a second housing part connected thereto. The charge air flows into the housing via an inlet and flows out of the housing via an outlet. The charge air cooler is disposed in the housing and is permeated by the charge air on the path from the inlet to the outlet. Also, the charge air cooler is completely enclosed by the housing, except for passages for passing a cooling fluid, and the charge air cooler is elastically supported relative to the housing by at least one elastic bearing element in particular disposed on a collector of the charge air cooler.
