Alternate Smooth bellows...see inside I have my whole lid assembly recessed back about 1 inch so i didnt want to buy an slp smooth bellows for $45-$50 dollars and have to trim it and it be right on the center bubble with the clamps...so i did some searching and found a nice unit on http://intakehoses.com/Merchant2/mer...gory_Code=SAE0 it is a 4" I.D. rubber coupling that has a 22* bend, which is pretty had to find...
fits perfect over the tb and is just a hair lose on the maf side, but once the clamps are tightened up it is perfect...it also cuts very easy and is pretty pliable...
cost was like 25 plus 8 for shipping...not extremely cheap but works perfect for what i needed...was at my house the next day too...

how much of a performance gain is to be had from this? i always heard the slp bellows was **** so i never investigated it 
this looks good, but i think just some 4" ID rubber hose will have the same look IMO
