You have to replace what you have with the stock equivalent. Just try to find the best price.

If you want to go aftermarket Ron Davis in Phoenix can make you a really nice one if you send them your old one. They do some really nice stuff.

I can't remember the brand I installed five years ago, but if you name a few I'll tell you which one it was.

Vertex is cheapest and has worked fine for me. Make sure to tell them that you want the price out of the Excellance magazine otherwise it'll be a little more expensive.
