What do Vendors Call this Part?

GM Part# 568228 "Brake Booster Pipe"
This is the formed metal pipe that attaches to the rear of the carburetor and leads through a grommet to just after connect to a rubber hose that leads to the power brake booster.
I can't seem to find the part at any of the vendors. Someone before me didn't know how to take the flare joint apart properly and/or didn't remove it before inserting the three-outlet vacuum connector screwed into the manifold just behind and right of the connection at the manifold. Anyhow it is severely twisted/distorted to the point that it has far less air flow than it should (by mouth it's like blowing through a tiny cocktail straw).
