Where's the best place to buy a MAF?

Troubleshooting P0171 and P0174 codes and swapped out the MAF and found that's the problem. Now where can I get a good price on one?

P0171 with no P0174

Am I correct in assuming this would be a failed intake manifold gasket? I'm seeing a lack of power at higher rpm too.
