Most recommend this bellows:

I bought this one, but I am not crazy about how it looks...it also requires some trimming to use it. Some have been able to stretch their SLP bellows to fit on to the 90mm TB, but I have not been able to make that work. I tried heating it up, elbow grease, soapy water...no luck. I really wish one of the sponsors/manufacturers would step up and produce one...

Does anyone have the bellow in the link on their car that they could post pics of? I would like to see it installed? I've also been told that you could pick up one from Home Depot. I'll probably check one out tomorrow and see how it looks. Before I shipped out my SLP bellow, I did manage to slip it over the Nick Williams throttle body. It was a tight fit, but nothing to struggle about. Not sure how well it would fit over the 85mm MAF cause I dont have one in hand.

Took a trip out to Home Depot to check out the Fernco couplers and boy are they thick and heavy compared to the SLP bellow I used to have. Its either special order a 3.5" to 4" from Home Depot, buy the one from air flow systems, or the new version of the SLP which is way more expensive than the first 2. I like the looks for the SLP, but I dont know if I can spend another $50+ for a bellow.

Just be forewarned...I have the new design SLP and I can't get it to stretch onto the TB...it isn't even close. I talked to Cannibal...he was able to stretch his SLP bellows, but he has the original straight design SLP bellows...I'm beginning to think that the bend in the new design is what's preventing me from stretching it far enough to fit the 90mm TB.

My TB uses a stock size inlet of 4". This really shouldn't be that hard to get figured out. What bellow does everyone use with the 85mm MAF and stock TB? Find that one and it will work.

I was able to get the older version of the SLP bellow on the Nick William throttle body as well. I didnt have an 85mm in hand, so I was unsure of it fitting on it. Its sold now and should be in someone else's hands by now. I was told that the new version of the SLP bellow will work with the Nick Williams throttle body and 85mm MAF with trimming and thinning out the MAF side. This was from a reputable sponsor. I'm just not sure if I want to spend that kind of money again on a bellow. Plus theyre backordered for at least 2 weeks and I dont want to wait that long. Im sure the airflow one is comparable in size and weight to the old version of the SLP.

I took a trip to Home Depot to check out the Ferncos and I dont like them at all. They're bulky, think, and heavy compared to the SLP bellow. I've never had the new version in hand, so I couldnt tell you if it works or not. The old version I had no problem slipping over the NW throttle body. The Fernco is out of the question. Its either the new version of the SLP bellow or the Airflow Systems bellow.
