Most of the really good carbon cleaners have been obsoleted due to environmental concerns. One that does come to mind is GM Top Engine Cleaner, which I think a version still exists.

I think oven cleaner does a good job on intakes. Just be careful using it. Don't let it set too long or it could etch the material. Maybe try on a couple small spots.

Bead blasting works too.
