Default Where to buy an intake elbow?

Ok this is a stupid question I know, but where is the best place to get an intake elbow for my car? I just need a 90 degree elbow from the throttle body to the maf then a peice that goes to the filter. I am having a hard time finding one thats not like 200 bucks. I need a universal fitment as its going into my ls1 swapped honda.

Thanks guys.

If it's just a 4" tube you need I got a LQ4 one from a truck. Its kind of a stupid deal with some 'sound deadening' chambers. I easily cut them off and used the material to make patches for the small oriface holes left where I cut off the huge chamber deals.

Sadly, all the conventional 45deg elbows were far too wide a radius to clear the original LQ4 truck fan that I am using - fits perfectly into my shroud. So I went back to oem ductwork, cut of that stupid looking ******* looking thing etc and it fits and works perfectly....
