There probably won't be, we already have the best Intake manifold design in the industry. Aftermarket will just be a waste of money.

Plastic > all at the moment.

Unless you are going HIGH boost 20psi+ Plastic IM's are the best for these basic reasons over aluminum.

1)It saves alot of weight over aluminum2)Quieter than alumunum3)Conducts heat alot better than aluminum4)Stop needless vibration between the manifold and the throttle body.5)Better flow than Aluminum

The plastic Nissan, Toyota, Honda, etc. are using in motors now is composed of VERY durable plastic.

This is the reason why there are no spacers, aftermarket IM's or anything other mods related to the IM's available for us or the new G3x/3x0z VQ___HR's

Those sounds like some good reasons to me. Thanks for clarifying.

Anybody want to take the other side of the fence?

I will say though, i took the engine cover off and looked at the plastic IM and thought it looked like s**t.
