Default StealthPowerSports Airbox Lid - Having trobule installing!

This lid is huge and looks like it will give me some better pickup than my old SLP lid but this thing is an absolute bitch to install. I bought it off the forums and just got the radiator support, lid, and K&N air filter. I tried all day to design some type of simple way to support the MAF with this lid but I don't have any room to work with like I did on the SLP lid. The MAF barely fits between the lid opening and the the throttle body so any type of bellow support must be minimal. Are there some type of special bellows I have to use?

If anyone has had any experience with this lid, please, chime in!

There's the link of the sale with pics of how it's setup. Where can I get those bellows?

Thanks!

What hoses were used in the seller's setup? I can't seem to get a hold of him. Anyone know the exact name so I know what to look for at the store?

try fernco thats a common "free" mod but beware it doesnt flex much and can bust your lid...

I had a new one 4 years ago. The problem with it was the poorly designed bellow. When it was on the dyno, the bellow kept collasping under throttle. The Stealth had a bad reputation and they finally went out of business because of the poor design. I tossed the whole setup in the garbage and got a lid - 10 times better!

That design also soaks up a lot of heat from the radiator!

i had an slp lid before this stealth lid, and personally noticed a significant difference between the two. i'd much prefer the stealth lid.
