OK Paul.  I see the smiley, and I wonder "What's the joke?"
Is there some compelling reason why the intake manifold should be composite?

Nothing compelling. There is a slight advantage to a composite
manifold as it picks up less abient heat from under the cowl.
Also it is easier to make for some as a good welder that can
weld thin aluminum is hard to find in some places. Not LA however.
