Keep you eyes on the classified section, I see them for sale from time to time. Or... you could pickup aftermarket such as the WarpSpeed y-pipe.

Order a flex pipe off eBay (they're usually pretty cheap, I got mine for $25 shipped and it's stainless), then have a shop weld it in. Won't cost anywhere near $350, probably around $100 total or so.
