you can look in the classified sections for a low millage one, post a wanted ad, if you have enough posts it will allow you to do it.

If this is for an s5 (89-91) go with the classified low mileage if you can, the s5's are integrated into the fuel rail. If this is for a s4 (86-88) try the classifieds, but they are usually best to replace new since they aren't too expensive.

$130 is about average regarding cost. I wouldn't suggest a used PD.

You'll also need an upper intake to lower intake gasket. While you are there, it makes sense to replace all the old rubber hoses in that area.

"...can u tell me why i gotta get new gaskets?"

Because you will destroy them when removing the manifolds. Besides that, it is always a good idea to never reuse gaskets. Consider it cheap insurance against leaks of various kinds.
