Yea, you can go to Burns Stainless down in Costa Mesa. Just bring your loan application and jar of Vaseline. I think there is one other local place I found, with comparable pricing to Burns.

I ordered one from treadstone performance. They sell on ebay, but I ordered it directly from them. No issues with the part, or shipment of it. Worlds less expensive than locally.

Dyno Don fab'd a Firebird cai when he converted my Camaro to TPI. If this is what you are looking for I strongly recommend Don.
If you want photos, let me know.

Don had to convert my Camaro (since I had a hood for a carb, not TPI, among many other mistakes that I made) to a Firebird style of intake when he converted it from a carb'd 305 with an automatic to a TPI 350 with a T5. The battery had to be swapped to the driver's side, etc., etc. I don't want to answer for Don, but the cost is going to depend on a variety of factors. That intake is a custom piece (along with other custom parts).

My CAI only works with speed density, can't put the MAF in there.
