Default What Bellows with WS6?

What bellows have people had luck with fitting the WS6?

What else other than stock and SLP bellows?

I did a search on the internet for Silicone Hoses and got a bunch of companies that sell hoses for turbo applications but they have a ton of different sizes that would work for the F-bodies. Anyone know what the exact O.D. dimensions of the throttle body and MAF? Also what is the angle between the two? Is it close to 45deg?

Yeah I've been following that thread but that HUMP HOSE looks worse than the stock accordian bellows. Thats just my opinion

I was wondering if anyone has tried to use a 45deg elbow at all. I don't have my lid yet so I can't see what the angle is on the WS6

i have the SLP bellows, dont know the exact angle off hand, you can see a pic on my site. FWIW the SLP bellows dont look much better then the fernco/bakerhose, ect setups.

I have a single rib, bent SLP bellows (old style i think? ) and it looks good, perfect fit on my ws6 airbox with blackwing lid.

my fernco, was given away after the first attempt of install.

The Airflow Systems brand "hump" hose looks very clean. Trim the topside to 3.5" long and the bottomside to 4.0" long and it will fit perfectly on a WS6.

There seems to be two. I have the older one that is just a straight silicon coupler but I have seen another one on a WS6 that was actually angled upwards for a better fit, looked like it had a "bubble" at the center. Very nice piece!


Edit: Pic is below
After seeing this on another car the fit seems MUCH better than what I have.

The one pictured above is what I have, fits great and looks great, whether or not it's worth the $45, I thought it was??
