No its not, its very stiff, poly urathane is more flexable and a hell of a lot more durable. Thin thin layers of fiber glass, like 1 or 2 sheets is flexible and not durable, breaks very easily. But reinforced plastic fiberglass, flexible, no its not, very very stiff.

What are the disadvantages advantages and properties of thermosetting plastics?
Glass-reinforced plastic, more commonly known as fiberglass, is known for being light and strong. Fiberglass has health problems concerned with it. Due to some glass fibers being considered carcinogens (cancer-causing), it is labeled a health concern. It can also irritate a person's skin, as well as eyes and lungs.

What is glass reinforced plastic?
It varies enormously. See the link below to a table showing all sorts of glass and glass-like products: 2.6g/cm3 2600Kg/m3 Also glass sinks because it has a density higher than 1.0g/cm^3.
What is rasin?
Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) (also called fibre-reinforced polymer, or fiber-reinforced plastic) is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. The fibres are usually glass, carbon, aramid, or basalt. Rarely, other fibres such as paper, wood, or asbestos have been used. The polymer is usually an epoxy, vinylester, or polyester thermosetting plastic, though phenol formaldehyde resins are still in use.

Density of fiberglass?
Fiberglass is manufactured in different weights and weaves. The choices seem to be endless, but fiberglass cloth is always listed in terms of weight per square yard. You can readily find 3.7 oz e-glass, which is often referred to as 4 oz fiberglass. You can also find fiberglass in weights of 9 oz and up to 40.5 oz! Fiberglass also comes in woven cloth, chopped strand mat, roving and again the list seems to go on and on. The key to your question, though, would be to look for the weight of the fabric you wanted.
Can the plastic intake manifold be replaced with a metallic version If yes how much would this cost?
Try this link: http://www.1aauto.com/1A/Drivetrain/Buick/Regal/PLP1380000/72138 It mentions a better life time manifold of fiberglass reinforced plastic. Also-try Checking some reputable Junk yards- found one myself for $35.00 only required modification of Egr tube from original plastic. Identical match otherwise. Less than two hours total install time.
