Does anyone sell an aftermarket intake (filter up to throttle body) for N/A S5’s? I just picked up a new car but I’m missing everything up to the throttle body

Do you have the "Air Flow Meter"? If not you will have to get one if using the stock ECU as it needs it to run. There is no bolt on part made specifically for the se cars as far as I know. Autozone sells some aluminum tubes and rubber couplers youmight be able to piece something that would work together with. I've thought about giving it a try myself. I think the have a coupler with the fitting needed to tie the vacuum spider/ rats nest in as well.

Like Dak mentioned, generic pipe and couplers will work to replace the tube itself from the MAF to the elbow.
As for the elbow piece, I think a Greddy elbow (designed for the turbo model) should fit, albeit upside down and with an extra fitting for a sensor you don't have. And on the bottom of the stock intake tube there's a small plastic elbow with a tube that leads to the BAC valve, so if you still have the BAC valve you need to add that fitting somehow.
The easiest thing to do is to find a parts car or search local classifieds to find the stock parts, rather than trying to piece it together aftermarket.

I’m personally not too familiar with the FC platform but the car is on a megasquirt so no maf is required. It’s actually starts and runs right now as is so I’m assuming the BAC has been deleted as well?

If you don't need a MAF, things are a lot simpler. All you need is the stock elbow piece and then appropriate tubing to direct it to a cone filter wherever you'd like to locate it. If you want to use the stock filter box, you can get an adapter online that is intended to adapt a cone filter to the stock MAF, but using it "backwards" will allow you to adapt the stock airbox straight to the intake tube with no MAF in the middle. One one side it's round and on the other side it's a rectangular flange that matches the one from the airbox to the MAF.
The BAC is an idle valve, so all it does is bypass air when the engine is under load. The car will start and idle without one, but if you have power steering, AC, or a heavy electrical load, the car will be unable to compensate for the load. On an S5 (iirc) it's below the primary fuel rail, directly below your throttle body. It's a large valve with a two pin connector and an inlet/outlet, you can find pictures online but you'll probably know it on sight. If you find a block-off plate, then it's been deleted.
