I got one off ebay for $45 + $12 S/H off ebay:

Be careful when installing it, these suckers fit tight, there is NO room what so ever.

I'm lucky that I own a pipe bender, or mine would have slightly rattled against the top of my intake. All I put in it was maybe 1 degree at the center, just enough to raise it off the intake manifold about 1/8-1/16th inch.

I'm guessing with any STB you get, there's might be a little adjusting neccessary. With tolerances this tight, there's a good chance something is gonna rub. (even if it fit perfect when they send it, it could get stressed in shipping and throw it off)
