Default 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.

Do the elbows have all of the proper plug ins for vacuum and map sensors?Or is that in the carb style intake?
