Does anyone know an approximate cost for concrete flow deflectors?
 
a little more information might help...
 
the deflectors are for a curb inlet with a 10' throat
 
I am not clear on what you are looking for. Is this:

A flume to direct runoff toward, or away from, the throat?

A weir/baffle on the bottom of the inlet box?

An energy dissipator at the end of the pipe?

In any event, first check a local precast supplier. If this is a standard product (or even a fairly common custom one), they can almost certainly offer a product at an attractive final cost versus cast-in-place.

Or is it a device to deflect the flow of unset concrete?

how about a concrete valley gutter?
