I made my own, its not that hard if u already know lengths and angles. Its not cheap even if you do it yourself.
Go to BurnsStainless.com, order the bends and straight lengths u need (use aluminum 6061 for intake piping). Hint: if u need two 90 degreee bends, get a 180 and cut it in half to save some dough. Once u get the material, cut it using a band saw (easiest), hack saw works too. When close to cut dimensions, use an electric sander to take off small amounts. Another good reason to DIY is so that u can test fit it. Once its fitted, mark the pieces and take them to a local person who can weld aluminum and put a bead on each end of the pipe.

I made an s-pipe to use the Crooked Willow IC with Efini y-pipe. Used a 180 bend from Burns.
See this link for pictures of the pipe - http://ourworld.cs.com/_ht_a/talvendi/id19.htm
Other tips: Be careful when working with the Aluminum piping because it is soft and will dent easily. To help cut straight lines when using a hack saw (band saw works best), use an old coupler as a straight edge. Be careful with the sander becasue the soft metal gets eaten away fast if you don't pay attention.
