How is that not specific? He's asking if there are any replacement parts for a specific part.
A few people have attempted to make replacements but quite honestly the OEM part does the job well enough that it isn't a concern.

Why does your shirt say Sock Dyno Day? And how fast were you able to run on the dyno in your socks?

Unless your using nitrous or forced induction I don't really see the point...
Is there a particular reason you want an upgraded one?

Even if you are, if you blow your intake manifold it's probably the result of a poor setup / bad tuning. The OEM manifold can withstand pretty much anything you can throw into the engine. If MM can tune over 400hp into this engine with the OEM manifold, I highly doubt that you'll blow it.

In that case we should stop with the mods. Move on to shotguns and bandoleers of ammo.
