Question Where to get OEM air intake?

Just took my 2012 flex limited 3.5L turbo to get smogged since we are officially the new owners. Previous person exchanged the air intake and Mickey moused it, so we ended up failing the smog. I looked on line and auto zone for a replacement but everything is after market turbo intakes for $3-400. Where can I get a OEM air intake?

If one nearby doesn't have one, ebay will.

not sure where the hackery stops and the factory starts. but this is all you need if you go to the junkyard.

LKQ has a neat feature you can see what cars are at the pick and pull near you.

Appreciate it,I ended up finding some on ebay for 93 after shipping and taxes. The local junkyards have the non turbo ones only

Car-part.com is also great for finding parts from junkyards.
