Default Where to find the best Bellow!?!?

Gents

This is something that is really frustrating me

Looking for the best bellow / coupler to get from 2002 WS6 stock MAF to 102 TB. This accordion style crap is pathetic, and I know it's robbing me blind. What is the best option or product to run with? Help, please!

intake hoses.com 3.5 to 4 inch coupler or go to home depot, get a 3 inch fernco coupler, boil it in water for a few minutes and it will stretch over the maf and tb

does boiling it help with the harsh bend? a lot of ppl complain how the fernco couplers are very ridgid and since its like a 22* bend needed the straight shot of a fernco is a real pita. im looking to do the same as im runnin a SD tune, i need to go from my stock tb to a thunder racing lid.

you can also try siliconeintakes.com

MikeH just but one of these:

The hump allows for slight misalignment to be fixed. Or if it is a major bend you can get a 30 degree bend hose that are also on the site.

yeah i looked at those hump hoses also. i would need a 4" id tho for stock stuff. last time i went out and measuered the tb with my digigtal caliper it was like 3.9" or so

your best bet is just to do a search its not the easiest thing to explain. but basics is you dont use a MAF sensor anymore, with SD it tunes from the MAP and IAT sensors and possibly something else i cant remember. its a back and forth topic SD vs MAF. most or all boosted guys run SD tho. when i bought my car it was allready SD. some ppl say in diff weather it will run like crap which is total bs, if your tuner knows how to tune SD then your all set. my car runs amazing and does not change from 80* or 30* weather.

They make reducers also, but I'm sure you saw that. Best of luck.
