Sheet metal intake elbows

So where does everyone get that top part for the TB to bolt up to the vic jr manifold and how much does it cost? I can't find it on any of the sponsor's websites. My buddy is building an 89 mustang and we are going to be doing a LS1 swap and throw a few turbos into the mix

Anyways, he likes the look of the sheet metal intakes so I am looking for him. TIA

Thanks. Ya, I realized the title may have been a bit deceiving after I had already posted it. I was meaning the sheet metal elbow. Thanks for the link

Do you have hood clearance issues? I'd preferably use a cast one before a sheet metal simply due to durability.

I dont think my carb/elbow made one bit of difference to power.

It looks good though.
