Well I've tried to get that hose from an authorized alfa dealer here in 
Slovenia(EU), but as mentioned, they said it was discontinued - that 
really shocked me. So when I compared it to the normal 3.0L V6 I found 
out the S (called QV here) hose has a bigger diameter on the AFM side as 
the AFM is bigger and has higher air flow. So I thought about making one 
from metal(Alu or Stainless), but I had luck and found a used one on an 
Italian junkyard.
So as mentioned before, it is possible to make it from metal and use 
silicone or rubber coupling or hump hose, to couple it with the plenum 
and AFM.
