They are quite hard to find now. There are no new ones in the UK. I got one last year from Poland.

You probably will have to get one made. It should not be too difficult to make out of brass or alloy, but the pipes need to enter at the correct angle to get the required swirl action.

If they won't deliver to the UK, you can have one (or several) sent to my address in France, and I will forward them.
I am however rather pessimistic about the chances of them actually existing.

The CX part is (I believe) still available in Europe but looks a bit different, and I have not heard of anyone actually using one on an ES9. There is also a Renault part used on some V6s that looks very similar, but I am not sure if it fits, or is still available.

This is the sort of item that should be possible to get a good reproduction made in China at reasonable cost.
