Part identification assistance needed, magnesium manifold with embossed 3.2 logo
Was wondering if any of y'all could help me out with correctly identifying this intake manifold's part number. I lost the top plate some time ago in a move and have a very nice polished manifold i'd like to use on my 3.2 but can't identify it by the part numbers as I've always known magnesium manifolds to be from 3.5/3.7 engines. It may very well work with the same top plate as the cutout looks similar, but that's where my buck stops. Any help would be appreciated, I'd like to get this project finished so I can go back to working on runners and heads and get that beautiful fully polished intake path inside my vehicle.
I know the second image is blurry, the part ID that is shown is RKB#1A not RK3#1A

That manifold is from a 2005-2008 RL and it's aluminum. Nice polished runners!
Someone put a lot of work into that. They removed the ribs all but enough segments
to create 3 2. Clever.

So this is a one of a kind piece? Didnt account for that, I never would have even considered that thank you for unraveling this one for me. I've been a part of AV6 for almost a decade and watching AZ for just as long, and this part stumped me knowing for a fact there were no magnesium manifold 3.2s EVER created to the public. I'll be polishing and highlighting the custom work in that case to show off the workmanship that was handed to me. Guy traded me this for a ported and polished 3.5 mani(unported/polished), likely didn't know he was giving away a custom part as a core trade in! Your posts aren't the most common Euro, but they always add value. Thank you, now I can start vacuum testing my gasket making skills, re-match and re-polish my ports on the runners and spacer, and get that +15 in the car. Just went from AV6 7G to AZ 3G, excited to see what y'all's porting game looks like over here.
