Default Stupid F-body 90mm throttle body question

Ok, I tried search but came up with all kinda of stuff that wasn't even close.

Easy question. I'm switching to a 90mm throttle body on my 99 Formula. Do I need a special bellow to attach to the MAF or will the stock one work?

yeah the stock one won't work, you are gonna need something thats goes from a ~3" to a 4", check ebay or napa, or maybe even home depot for a silicone coupler

If you are using one of my throttle bodies, the stock one will work. The SLP one fits it nice though.

Mine is actually the FAST 90 TB...so, basically if the stocker doesn't work I need a 3-4 silicone coupler/reducer?

+1, I just got my NW 90 the other day, brand new via SDPC. The thing is a work of art.

I used the stock bellow with my FAST 90mm throttle body. Just needed to be heated up a bit with a torch and she slid right on. I even reused it when I put the 90mm TNT ring on it

I bought a coupler from Lowes for $6.00 that worked fine. 4x4 for me as I have an 85mm MAF.
