Default Smooth Bellow

Wouldn't this work for a smooth bellow? Is it the right size?

I know it says it can flex...but I think the silicone coupler versus the plastic tabs on the backside of the lid will result in a leaking or damaged lid. The SLP bellows is already bent 20 or so degrees...mine was a little too long and I had to shorten it, but once I did that it fits really well. I don't think it picked up any power...the lid certainly did get a little bit...but I did them both at the same time so who's to say?

the SLP one is like friggin $60 though... I'm seeing this one as a much more cost effective alternative with no downside....

The stock one gets the job done. I would just save that 60$ or however much for .3 rwhp.

Myth.

This is not always the case. I have had mine for 2 years WITH A PAINTED LID for about 6 months now with no problems.
