Default Bellow for 85mm MAF???

I picked up an 85mm MAF supposedly used on Z06's (p/n 25168491). I don't really see a reason to buy the TSP 85mm lid if I can find a bellow that would butt the MAF to my existing SLP lid. I've heard of this before but my question is where do you find a bellow that will fit?

The outer diameter of both the MAF and lid seem to be about 3.8" kind of an in between size. Thanks for the help.

Home Depot! cheap$$$ Do the Fernco route I think that they make a 4' peice. Of course you would be doing some trimming, but I hear that you have to do that on the SLP one too and it is freaking almost 50$. Save money.

The MAF is small than 4" and it looked like there was a gap left when I tried the 4" piece. Will the hose clamp squeeze tight enough to close this gap down?

you can get a thin 3" ferco style bellows at home depot. get it hot (boil it or hair dryer) and it will stretch. They cost about $3
