Default custom lower intake?

Does anyone know of a place to get a custom lower intake for the DOHC? A simple box of TIG welded aluminum would work. I took mine off and tried porting the inside, but the elbow is the main restriction. Theres also some cast in bumps that block the flow. If I had a TIG welder, I'd a made one a while ago. Something like that would be interesting to test on the track. Even cooler than that would be ITB's! (independent throttle bodies)

when you say custom do you mean like AEM? or are you looking for parts to make one yourself?

ITB's would be awesome, but I am talking about a lower intake for the aluminum dohc motor. You know how it splits and you can port it alittle? That elbow for the throttle body is too thin to port. Also it necks down as well. Not to mention it could use alot more volume inside. But the upper runners are short and beefy. So if you could make an aluminum box lower than it would flow alot better, be easy to make and cost alot less. Like an indy intake without the cost. I dunno..

I bet a shop could weld one up easy but does anyone know of one?
