if you are refering to the intake air tube. Then there are some great platics out on the market that are very heat resilient. I have been planning on building on for my V6. Just have not had the time to tool around with that project yet.

In LA is anyones guess. They are a lot of plastics R&D companines out in cali so you shouldnt be hard pressed to find some local plastics shop selling the products. I googled my area for some and a fellow floridian and LvC turned me on to another.
If you have the V8 I would try to find a company that can help you custom bend the tubing and add the portholes for the air temp sensor and vacuum lines. I have a heating element that I used to bend my own plastics and have my own solvents to bond pieces. So it might be cheaper to work with them on the design. If they do a good job let them know you will give them some referals.
this is some product that I have been looking at:
