Default Metal piping intake manifold?

I was wondering if anyone could help me find something. I recently was thumbing through a mag and seen a g35 Top Secret knock off. Nice car and all but what cuaght my eye was the metal intake tubes (like header design) on top the engine instead of our plastic plenum. Anyone know if this a mass produced item or is it a custom made item.

Wish i had a picture or could explain it better but i am very interested in finding this part for my 07 or someone who can make one.

Our plenums are metal already. Only plastic bit is the intake tube.

Metal intake tubes heatsoak really quickly... There's a reason they come in plastic. The same reason '07 & up plenums are plastic... You guessed it, they don't heatsoak as bad.

thanks for link nathan. Those are not the same design those all go to same direction to a central inlet.

The one im looking for looks like two headers but weaved together and three pipes lead to intake on each side of the car for the dual intake setup.

too bad you went through all of that just to find a part that will not fit or work on a 07+ engine anyway.
