LS6/LS1 & Fast 90 Material Composition??

A buddy and I were talkin the other day during our nonmetallics materials course about what the intake manifolds for the Gen III/IV motors are actually made of and how they are made? Kind of a randomn question I know but we are curious. Preciate it!

I read an article that stated they (ls intakes not FAST) were "welded" together sonicaly. Thought that was cool.

I think they are made from a substance that we acquired from aliens
