FB intake manifold

So something about wrenches, torque, and me. I may have cracked my spare intake manifold, but still not sure on that. Either way wanting to upgrade the manifold to something that is better performing than stock, takes heat better, and doesn't break under heavy pressure. Based on this criteria I'm assuming aluminum would be best but not sure. Any help is appreciated and if you have one for sale just shoot me a pm and I might just buy it outright.

Um, what are you driving? The stock intake should also be aluminum, as will anything else you find out there.

Post a want add and you'll find them all over. Just grab a stock model to match your year (might not be important). Expect to pay 20-30 bucks unless you find a great deal.

I am my problem, I keep cracking them on install lol I'm looking for a custom job, I saw someone made one and painted it black for his turbo install if I remember correctly. I'm looking to get something like that since from my experience plate metal is more likely to bend to conform to the engine, rather than break to conform. I've lost 2 manifolds already and its starting to bug me.

Just for reference, here is my manifold. The one I'm using is also cracked, just not nearly this bad.
