THIS is exactly what I was talking about before. The aftermarket parts that were plentiful are now being removed from the inventories and production schedules for companies who used to make them by the truckload. Hence, even the cool aftermarket parts are drying up. You either have to 1) Hope and pray for an new old stock one on a shelf somewhere 2) Someone that has one, new or used that wants to part with it, or 3) make it yourself.
And be prepared to pay for these unique performance parts. Dearly. Supply and demand thing comes into play. If there was continued demand for these intakes, they'd still have made them. It's possible that the manufacturer made like 1000 of them as a batch run, then moved on to other things. Then, when the 1000 got depleted, that's it. Don't know. Many possibilities.
As the world is in a quandry about EV conversion and supporting gas engines, etc., some aftermarket companies are dropping their ICE stuff and moving on...much to our sadness.
The interesting part is, come the end of January, even if they did manufacture them again, you'll pay a MUCH higher price due to the incoming tariffs on China, assuming it's Chinesium. It looks like it to me.
