Is there a better #2 turbo intake pipe?

We all know that the Efini "Y" pipe design is a lot better than the original one. Looking at them, it is obvious.

If you ever looked at the inlet pipe that bolts to the #2 turbo, you got to have said, "This is ****!". A "S" curve with squashed in areas. It is that way so it could also be used on Jap cars. Thus are left side drive cars get screwed.

A nice gentle bend is posible and there is room for it. Does anyone make a replacement?

One local Houston shop wants $275 to make one, and they need the car at their shop to do it.
