Specifically, it’s a Dupont material called "Nylon 66" that is a mixture of a Nylon and glass fiber reinforcement.
This is what I came up with. Also, here is a pdf file with more information on Nylon 66.

Is the LS2 factory intake the same Nylon 66? The surface doesn't look at all like my LS6 intake manifold...
